What to know about Pope Leo XIV's trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru
The Associated Press, via PBS, outlines Pope Leo XIV's 6–17 November 2026 trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru — the longest and farthest of his papacy — just three weeks after surgery removed a cancerous tumor from his right lung, and his return to the continent where he spent two decades as a missionary. The itinerary spans secular Uruguay's Casavalle parish and Paysandú, meetings with Argentina's Javier Milei and honors to Pope Francis, and an expected emotional homecoming to Peru, including Mass in his old community of Santa Cruz de Succhabamba.
