Pope Leo XIV to Revive Papal Holidays at Summer Palace

  • Starting July 6, Pope Leo XIV will spend time at Castel Gandolfo for two separate summer stays, including a period around the Catholic Assumption feast in August, during which he will lead the Angelus prayer on August 17 before returning to the Vatican.
  • The tradition, paused during Pope Francis’ 12-year papacy who stayed at the Vatican without summer breaks, aims to restore visits and public blessings dating back centuries.

  • The resumption of papal summer breaks is expected to support local tourism in this 9,000-population town 15 miles southeast of Rome, whose economy depends on visitors.
