🌅 VATICAN REPORT | Saturday morning, 24 October 2026

Today at 11:10 am, in the Paul VI Hall, Pope Leo XIV is expected to meet participants in the Jesus Youth GO Conference 2026. The time comes from Vatican Media livestream announcements; the Holy See Press Office Bulletin has not yet confirmed it officially.
🙏 Jesus Youth
The Catholic youth movement born in Kerala (India) is marking its 40th anniversary in Rome: more than 1,100 delegates from 41 countries are in the city, with 15 bishops and 63 priests, Vatican News reports. Another engagement listed for today, the audience for participants in the «Church of the Sheaves» gathering at the Urbaniana, was cancelled because of the Pope's convalescence, Fortunatus Nwachukwu announced. The Jesus Youth audience therefore needs to be watched through to the scheduled time.
☦️ Bartholomew I
The Patriarch is in Italy until 28 October. No engagements are listed for today. The programme continues on the 26th in Loreto and on the 27th in Assisi for Sant'Egidio's «Peace without weapons, peace that disarms» meeting, which Pope Leo XIV will not attend, as the Press Office has said.
🗓️ Schedule
Today's Bulletin should be checked this morning for audiences and appointments. The Press Office's latest update, on 23 October, spoke of a «very good» post-operative recovery. Tomorrow, Sunday 25 October, the Angelus is at noon.
