Welcome to Pope Francis!

26 – 29 September 2024 | Belgium

Pope Francis will visit Belgium at the end of this month, marking a historic moment as the Pope seldom visits European countries. The Catholic community in Belgium, along with many others both domestically and internationally, eagerly anticipates this event.

Come celebrate with us.

The highlight of the visit will be the Eucharistic celebration on Sunday morning, September 29th at 10 a.m., led by Pope Francis at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. For all practical information: click here.

Additionally, there will be opportunities to greet the Pope in public at four locations. Where, when, and how this is possible: click here.

The visit will also prominently feature the celebration of the 600th anniversary of the KU Leuven and the UCLouvain. Click here for the complete program.

In addition to the official program, other events will take place in honor of Pope Francis's visit to our country, including an extensive youth programme, Hope Happening, on Saturday, September 28. For more information click here.

To mark the beatification of Anna of Jesus during the Holy Mass presided over by the Pope, there are also some extra activities. These include a lecture on Friday evening, September 27 (8pm.) and a vigil on Saturday evening, September 28 (7pm) in the cathedral of Brussels.
