The Vatican on July 3 announced the schedule of public liturgical celebrations over which Pope Leo XIV will preside in August and September.

Among them is the Mass of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which Pope Leo is scheduled to celebrate on August 15 at the Pontifical Parish of St. Thomas of Villanova at Castel Gandolfo.

Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass at Castel Gandolfo’s parish on every August 15 of his pontificate.
