Arzobispado de Barcelona

The Arzobispado de Barcelona (Archdiocese of Barcelona) is the Roman Catholic archdiocese responsible for the Barcelona region. It is currently newsworthy due to the upcoming apostolic visit of Pope Leo XIV in June. The Archdiocese, in collaboration with the Sagrada Familia, has launched a website (www.alcalamirada.cat) in Catalan, Spanish, and English to provide information about the visit, scheduled for June 9th and 10th. The website features a letter from the Archbishop of Barcelona, Cardinal Juan José Omella, expressing his joy about the Pope's presence. While an official agenda is still pending, it is anticipated that the Pope will address the Congress and participate in the blessing or inauguration of the Sagrada Familia's Tower of Jesus. The Archdiocese's preparations, including logistical aspects like public restrooms and barriers, highlight its central role in organizing and facilitating this significant event.
