Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Catalonia in June, with an itinerary that includes stops at Brians 1 penitentiary centre in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, Baix Llobregat, and the Sant Agustí parish in Barcelona's Raval neighbourhood. The pontiff also plans to visit Montserrat monastery in Bages and will officiate a mass at the Sagrada Família temple.
These engagements form the second stage of the Pope's trip to Spain, set to take place between 6 and 12 June. The Vatican published the official programme today, detailing Leo XIV's prominent activities across various locations in Catalonia.
Pontiff's Catalan Itinerary
The visit marks a significant event for the region, bringing the head of the Catholic Church to both a correctional facility and iconic religious sites. The stop at Brians 1 prison highlights a focus on pastoral care within the penal system, while the mass at the Sagrada Família will draw considerable public and media attention. Montserrat, a spiritual heartland for many Catalans, is another key destination on the Pope's schedule.
