Overview
- The papal visit is set to run from Sunday Nov. 8 to Wednesday Nov. 11 and will include stops in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Luján with public masses, institutional receptions and pastoral encounters.
- The government has confirmed two mandatory national broadcasts: the Palace Libertad reception with speeches on Sunday evening and the main mass at the Monumento a los Españoles on Monday morning.
- President Javier Milei will attend the reception, the Monumento a los Españoles mass and the farewell ceremony, and the Casa Rosada has excluded former presidents from the Palacio Libertad guest list while inviting governors, legislators and judicial authorities.
- Transport and logistics measures include reinforced trains and buses, temporary airport flight‑restriction windows, and 24,000 special SUBE cards for volunteers to travel free during the operation.
- Vatican advance teams and Argentine security forces are finishing fine tuning on site, and the Province of Buenos Aires will deploy a large force for the Luján mass as Church leaders press the Pope to address joblessness and aid for vulnerable groups.
