Overview

• The Vatican postal service has processed about 100 kilograms of mail per day for Pope Leo XIV, equating to roughly 500–550 kilograms weekly.
• Letters originate from every continent, with recent arrivals recorded from Andorra, Brazil, Cameroon, Hong Kong, India, Kosovo and the United States.
• Postal center officials report that children and elderly senders make up the majority of correspondents seeking prayers or intercession.
• Beyond letters and postcards, the pontiff’s mail includes drawings, handwritten prayers and small gifts such as teddy bears.
• All items are funneled through Rome’s Fiumicino airport, security-checked by the Secretariat of State, sorted and delivered to Vatican City on the same day.
