Pope Leo XIV has expressed joy and enthusiasm about his upcoming Apostolic Journey to Latin America, as the Holy See Press Office confirmed his visit to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru on November 6-17.
In a statement released by the Holy See Press Office, Pope Leo expressed his hopes that the visit to Latin America will strength Christians’ commitment to proclaiming the Gospel.
“I am looking forward to returning to the continent where I’ve experienced so many moments of my life," said the Pope. "May this journey be an occasion for us to open our hearts to one another, strengthen our communion as brothers and sisters, and renew our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel with joy.”
The Pope’s doctors report that his recovery is progressing well, with recent tests confirming his good health, which will allow him to undertake his upcoming Apostolic Journey.
"Dr. Luigi Carbone confirms that the Holy Father’s recovery after the surgery continues, and the latest medical examinations attest to his good health and favorable clinical condition," said the statement.

On the 40th anniversary of the historic Day of Prayer for Peace, convened by Pope John Paul II on October 27, 1986, the legacy of the “Spirit of Assisi” spans four pontificates. From John Paul II himself, who explored its theological significance, to Benedict XVI, who extended the dialogue to include non-believers; from Francis, who called for fraternity, to Pope Leo XIV, who invites religions to rediscover within their own roots an antidote to hatred and violence.
