ROME \u2014 Pope Leo XIV<\/a> is traveling Saturday to northern Italy to pay homage to two figures of Christian devotion: St. Augustine, the inspiration for his religious order, and Mother Frances Cabrini, the patron of migrants who became the first American saint.<\/p>\n

Leo\u2019s day trip marks the midway point of his summer 2026 grand tour of Italy, in which the American pope has scheduled a series of Saturday day trips up and down the peninsula and its islands to get to know his new flock.<\/p>\n
