Pope Leo XIV announced his upcoming trip to Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru, following successful surgery to remove a lung tumor in October. The pontiff expressed joy and enthusiasm about returning to the continent where many moments of his life unfolded. The Holy See confirmed the journey, which was initially scheduled for November 6-17, on Wednesday.
Pope Leo will first visit Montevideo, Uruguay, on November 6, staying there until the 8th. His Argentine itinerary includes masses in Buenos Aires City, Luján, and Córdoba, meetings with President Javier Milei and labor union leaders, and visits to a prison and a mental health institution. From November 11-17, he will travel to Peru, his former diocese, to visit Lima, Cuzco, and Pucallpa.
The Vatican emphasized that the Pope's journey aims to strengthen communion with local churches and bring a message of faith, hope, and peace to the Latin American countries he will visit. Doctors report that Pope Leo’s recovery is progressing well, with no clinical reasons preventing him from undertaking the apostolic journey.
