Pope Leo XIV to attend peace meeting in Assisi

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will attend an international peace meeting in Assisi on October 27, 2026, marking the 40th anniversary of the historic prayer meeting for peace held in 1986. The event, titled "Unarmed and Disarming Peace," is organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio and runs from October 25 to 27.

The Pope is scheduled to arrive in Assisi on Tuesday, October 27, following lunch, to participate in the closing ceremony. Marco Impagliazzo, president of the Community of Sant'Egidio, stated that the Pope will initially hold private meetings with various religious leaders. He will join 384 other representatives from different religions to pray for peace. Expected attendees include Patriarch Bartholomew and delegations from the Moscow Patriarchate, as well as young people from countries affected by war, such as Ukraine.

Bishop Felice Accrocca of the Diocese of Assisi-Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino expressed joy regarding the visit, noting that the Pope's presence with other religious leaders can strengthen a common path against violence. The meeting commemorates the World Day of Prayer for Peace established by Pope John Paul II.
