Pope Leo XIV to Celebrate Mass Every Sunday in June, Consistory for Canonizations Set

Pope Leo XIV will preside over a series of liturgical celebrations throughout the month of June, including Mass every Sunday and a key meeting with cardinals to advance the Causes of Canonization for several holy men and women.

According to the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, the month will open with a special outdoor Mass in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, June 1, to mark the Jubilee of Families, Children, Grandparents, and the Elderly. The Mass is scheduled for 10:30 AM.

The Holy Father will return to the square on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, to celebrate Mass at 10:30 AM for the Jubilee of Ecclesial Movements, Associations and New Communities, according to Vatican News.

The following day, Monday, June 9, Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to preside at Mass for the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church at 11:30 AM in St. Peter’s Basilica. This celebration coincides with the Jubilee of the Holy See.

On Friday, June 13, the Pope will hold an Ordinary Public Consistory of Cardinals at 9:00 AM to vote on “several Causes of Canonization,” according to Vatican News reporter Devin Watkins.

June’s liturgical schedule also includes a Mass for the Jubilee of Sport on Sunday, June 15, again in St. Peter’s Square at 10:30 AM.

For the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) on Sunday, June 22, Pope Leo will celebrate Mass at 5:00 PM in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. He is also expected to lead the traditional Eucharistic procession to the Basilica of St. Mary Major.

On Friday, June 27, the Pope will return to St. Peter’s Square for Mass at 9:00 AM to mark the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The month concludes with a papal Mass for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles, on Sunday, June 29, at 9:30 AM in St. Peter’s Basilica.

This full schedule of public liturgies and canonical work reflects Pope Leo XIV’s continued emphasis on renewing the life of the Church through participation, devotion, and holiness, especially during this Jubilee Year.
