The President of the Republic, António José Seguro, will be received by Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, on the morning of September 24. The audience was scheduled several months ago, with the date set in advance.
One of the highlights of the meeting will be the formal invitation for the Pope to visit Portugal in 2027. This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Apparitions, a celebration that motivates the visit request to the Vatican.
The meeting represents a moment of dialogue between Portugal and the Holy See, covering issues of common interest for both parties. The visit reinforces the diplomatic and cultural ties between the country and the Vatican.
