On Monday, the Pope will arrive in Algeria

Monday 13 April at 9 a.m.
with the Holy Father on board will land on Algiers global Airport
‘Houari Boumédiène’.

That's how the 11-day first begins.
The Apostolic Journey of Leon XIV to the African continent.

In preparation for the Pope's historical journey
to Algeria, Fr. Jean-Paul Vesco OP described it as an crucial chance to deepen universal brotherhood. He pointed out that this would be the Pope's first always visit
in this country with a Muslim majority and at the same time the continuation of the Church's efforts for dialog and rapprochement
with the planet of Islam.

Leon XIV's visit will mark the 30th anniversary of the tragic events in Tibhirine, where 7 trappers were murdered in 1996. As Fr. Cardinal pointed out. Vesco,
the travel programme does not supply for a visit to this place. However, he added that the Pope would pay tribute to martyrs in a different way, including during the gathering with the Christian community in the Basilica of Our woman of Africa.
