The Holy See has unveiled the initial details of Pope Leo XIV's apostolic visit to Spain, confirming two Eucharistic celebrations in the Canary Islands during June.

On June 12, the Holy Father will preside over a mass at the Explanada Portuaria de Los Llanos in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, expected to take place around midday. This event will conclude his morning agenda in the Diocese of Nivariense, the full details of which are yet to be officially released.
A day earlier, on June 11, the bishop of Rome will celebrate another large Eucharist at the Estadio Gran Canaria, scheduled for 6:30 PM. These events in the islands are part of a broader itinerary that also includes engagements in Madrid.
In the Spanish capital, the Pope will participate in an evening prayer vigil with young people on June 6 and will lead the Mass and Corpus procession in the Plaza de Cibeles on June 7. The trip organizers have opened a pre-registration channel on the official website conelpapa.es for those interested in attending the confirmed events.
Faithful wishing to attend the mass in Santa Cruz de Tenerife can pre-register individually, in groups, or as families through the enabled platform, facilitating participation in this significant religious occasion.
