Pope Leo XIV Says Mass in Córdoba, Then Leads Palermo Youth Vigil
Pope Leo XIV travels from Buenos Aires to Córdoba to celebrate a Mass at FAdeA, greets the faithful from the popemobile, and meets with the clergy before returning to the Argentine capital for a youth vigil.
Pope Leo XIV arrives on Tuesday in Córdoba to celebrate a large Mass on the grounds of the FAdeA aircraft factory, on the third day of his visit to Argentina. The day's itinerary combines a religious celebration, greetings to the faithful and a meeting with priests and seminarians, before closing with a youth vigil in Buenos Aires.
According to the official schedule, the Pontiff takes off in the morning from the capital and lands at Ambrosio Taravella Airport in Córdoba at around 9:00. The Mass is scheduled for 10:00 on the esplanade of the military aviation school, within the FAdeA complex. Throughout the day, the Pope will greet pilgrims from the popemobile along a route through the city's streets.
In the afternoon, Leo XIV will meet with the clergy and seminarians at the Cathedral of Córdoba. The archdiocese also plans a greeting from the balcony of the ecclesiastical headquarters, the same one John Paul II used in April 1987, during his visit to the country. The return flight to Buenos Aires will depart from Córdoba at around 16:55 and land at Jorge Newbery Airport in the capital near 18:10.
The day will conclude with a youth vigil at 20:15 at the Monument to the Spaniards in the Palermo neighborhood. The event will include a music festival with live performances beginning at 16:00, with access from 12:00. Among the announced artists are Nahuel Pennisi, Maggie Cullen and Valentino Merlo. The vigil is aimed at young people between 15 and 35 years old, although other people may also enter the general areas. Preferential sectors require prior accreditation. The vigil will last until approximately 22:00.
The security operation in Córdoba includes street closures and a special transport system. Authorities recommend not using private vehicles, due to traffic restrictions and the distances that must be covered on foot. Tuesday is a public holiday in the city of Buenos Aires and in the province of Córdoba, which is expected to facilitate the participation of the faithful in the various activities.
The Pope's visit to Argentina will end with its final Mass in Luján on Wednesday, November 11, which will conclude his stay in the country.
