Pope Leo’s First Full Year of His Pontificate in 2026

The latest news from the Vatican and the Holy Father:

We have now entered what will be the first full calendar year of Pope Leo’s pontificate. What will 2026 bring for Pope Leo? Where might he travel? What can we expect?

Pope Leo XIV held a meeting with leaders of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), a community dedicated to the traditional Roman Rite, as the fraternity undergoes an apostolic visitation following Traditionis Custodes. 

As we remember the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz let’s look back to the heroic witness of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

Let’s travel to Pompeii to the Shrine of the Holy Rosary to discover an apostolate helping brides-to-be who cannot afford a wedding dress.  

And enjoy EWTN’s co-production with Exodus 90 exploring the “Desert Fathers in a Year” with Trappist Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway.

Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes.
