The Vatican announced that Pope Leo XIV will visit Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru from November 6 to 17. This marks the pontiff's first trip to Latin America and represents his sixth international trip since becoming pope last year.
The journey will serve as a homecoming of sorts for the American pontiff, who is returning to Peru. He spent decades in the country serving as a missionary and bishop.
During his time in Peru, Pope Leo XIV carried out much of his ministry before ascending to the papacy.
