Pope Leo XIV to Inaugurate Borgo Laudato Si
On September 5, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., His Holiness Pope Leo XIV will officially inaugurate Borgo Laudato Si’, a historic papal residence newly opened to the public and dedicated to living out the vision of Laudato
Si’, the landmark encyclical on creation and human dignity, now marking its tenth anniversary.
During the inauguration, the Holy Father will first make a symbolic pilgrimage through the grounds, meeting
workers, collaborators, their families, and all who contribute to the life of the Borgo—including religious, educators,
students, local communities, partners, and benefactors. He will then preside over a Liturgy of the Word with a Rite of Blessing, in thanksgiving for this new mission of the Church.
Representatives of the Roman Curia, civic institutions, and many who helped bring this vision to life will also be present.
To mark this historic occasion, Maestro Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo will join the gathering in prayer, offering
a song before the Holy Father’s blessing.
