Pope Leo XIV will stay at the apostolic residence of Castel Gandolfo from July 6 to 20 for a period of rest and reflection. During his stay, the Wednesday general audiences will be suspended, which will resume next July 30, the Holy See Press Office reported. Unlike his predecessor, Pope Francis, who never used Castel Gandolfo as a place of rest, Leo XIV takes up this summer tradition of the pontiffs.
The Holy Father will return briefly between August 15 and 17 to participate in as yet unspecified activities at the Vatican.
