<\/p>\nThe Holy See has today confirmed the official program of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, for his Apostolic Journey to Spain between June 6 and 12, with stops and events in Madrid, Barcelona, \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bGran Canaria and Tenerife.<\/p>\n
The agenda, which will take the Holy Father nearly\u00a0 2,500 kilometers \u00a0over six days, is a pastoral itinerary\u00a0 through which the Pope hopes to meet everyone, listen to everyone, and speak to everyone. In fact, the Pope will speak and deliver homilies a total of\u00a0 17 times \u00a0during the\u00a0 21 events \u00a0that make up the program.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The entire program shares three axes: charity, expressed in meetings with social assistance and reception entities; the Eucharist, who will focus each stage of the journey; and the encounter, both with young people, as well as with civil society and local Churches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madrid \u00b7 June 6-9<\/p>\n
The Pope will arrive in Spain on the morning of June 6th at\u00a0 Adolfo Su\u00e1rez Madrid-Barajas International Airport , where he will be received by the King and Queen and other authorities.

\u00a0That same afternoon, Leo XIV will visit the\u00a0 CEDIA 24 Hours social project \u00a0of Caritas, a center specializing in the comprehensive care and support of homeless people, thus placing charity at the heart of his entire trip from the very day of his arrival. Following this meeting, the next highlight of the 6th will be a prayer vigil with young people in\u00a0 Plaza de Lima , culminating in the celebration of Eucharistic Adoration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0The following day, Sunday, June 7, the Feast of Corpus Christi, will begin with the first of the major Masses of the trip. In the\u00a0 Plaza de Cibeles , the Holy Father will preside over Holy Mass, followed by a Eucharistic procession in the nearby area for Corpus Christi. Later that afternoon, Leo XIV will preside over\u00a0 the \u201cWeaving Networks\u201d event at the Movistar Arena ,\u00a0 in which representatives from the worlds of culture, art, and business will participate.<\/p>\n
