The national government led an interdisciplinary working group with ecclesiastical authorities to coordinate the arrival of Pope Leo XIV in Argentina, scheduled for the period between November 8 and 11. The organization selected the FADEA site in the city of Córdoba as the main site to hold the mass ceremony planned in the province. The preliminary itinerary of the Supreme Pontiff also includes official movements and religious meetings in the City of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires.
The organizational meeting was led by the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, along with ministers from the national Cabinet and representatives from the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. The official representation from the Vatican included the presence of the Apostolic Nuncio in Argentina, Monsignor Michael Wallace Banach, and the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge García Cuerva. In this meeting, the axes of dissemination, security, transportation, and logistics were established to ensure the regular development of papal activities.
The Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge García Cuerva, explained the characteristics of the joint work initiated between government bodies and the authorities of the Catholic Church. In this regard, the prelate stated: “It was a call made by the national government, which was to gather those who were here, the spirit is to work absolutely together.” Furthermore, the ecclesiastical representative indicated that the coordination meetings will immediately expand to the provincial administrations involved in the visits.
