The Papal Calendar

The Catholic Traveler’s Guide to Rome is offered completely free to be sure you have the best pilgrimage experience – and is only possible because of my generous supporters. Please consider supporting my work through Patreon or Substack, or a one time tip through Venmo. 🤍

General Audiences are currently held in the Paolo IV Auditorium. All Angelus Papal Blessings are still taking place in Saint Peter’s Square. No tickets are required for the Angelus. Note that Papal events may be cancelled with little or no notice.
