Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene will welcome His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on the occasion of an Apostolic Visit to the Principality of Monaco on Saturday March 28, 2026.
This visit reflects the enduring bonds linking the Grimaldi dynasty to the Roman Pontiffs, as well as the historic and trusted diplomatic relations between the Monaco and the Holy See.
It follows the invitation extended by the Sovereign Prince to the Holy Father during their meeting at the Vatican on January 17, as well as that of the Archbishop of Monaco, Dominique-Marie David, reflecting both the institutional and pastoral dimensions of this event.
As a sovereign State in which the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religion is enshrined in the Constitution, the Principality of Monaco draws from this spiritual heritage a fundamental element of its identity, unity, and institutional continuity, while embracing a dynamic of openness and adaptation to the contemporary world.
The visit of the Holy Father will mark a historic moment for Monaco and stand as a strong sign of hope, in a spirit of dialogue, peace, and shared responsibility.
