Pope Leo XIV to visit Pavia June 20

- Pope Leo XIV, after one year in office, will visit Pavia on June 20 for prayer, healing and meetings with families and young people. - His recent U.S. bishop appointments emphasise pastoral care amid changing church demographics; he also prayed for Sahel victims and thanked Canary Islands responders. - commentators say his steady personnel choices signal governance by emphasis and institutional patience rather than dramatic reform.
