Overview
- Vatican officials released a day‑by‑day program for Pope León XIV’s visit to Argentina on Monday, Sept. 21, scheduling events from Nov. 8–11 as part of a wider November 6–17 apostolic trip through Uruguay, Argentina and Peru.
- The Argentina schedule includes an official welcome and a meeting with President Javier Milei at the Casa Rosada, large public Masses and a youth vigil, pastoral visits to Claypole’s Pequeño Cottolengo Don Orione and to the Devoto federal prison, plus a closing Mass in Luján.
- Argentine authorities announced a unified, multi‑jurisdictional security and logistics command they described as the largest in the country’s history, estimated aggregate attendance of roughly 7 million people and ongoing evaluation of a possible asueto for the events.
- Separately, the Archdiocese of Lima launched a five‑episode documentary series beginning Sept. 20 that highlights local pastoral preparations in Peru, with the first episode focused on Chiclayo where León XIV served as bishop.
- The confirmed program has concrete public impacts: the Pope will stay at the Nunciature in Recoleta, some events will require prior registration, and ministries are studying changes to school, bank and public schedules to manage crowds and transport.
