Summary
Cuba’s bishops are scheduled to travel to Rome from February 16 to 20, during which they will meet Pope Leo XIV and present a report on the state of Cuban dioceses. The trip is part of their ad limina visit required every five years. During this meeting, they plan to pray in four major basilicas, share the Church’s vicissitudes with the Holy Father, and discuss ongoing issues such as humanitarian aid distribution managed by the Vatican for those affected by Hurricane Melissa. Additionally, Pope Leo XIV has expressed concern over increased tensions between Cuba and the United States. The bishops are also set to hold meetings with U.S. Embassy chargé d’affaires Mike Hammer. This visit is a time of grace and renewal in faith for them as they seek to strengthen communion with the successor of St. Peter, Pope Leo XIV.
