Pope Leo XIV Announces April 11 Peace Vigil

Miami-Dade County residents are invited to participate in a global peace vigil announced by Pope Leo XIV, scheduled for Thursday, April 11, 2026. While the primary event will take place at St. Peter's in Vatican City, local churches and faith communities across Miami-Dade, including historic parishes in neighborhoods like Little Havana, are expected to host their own observances in solidarity.

The Pope's announcement, made today, April 8, 2026, calls for a moment of collective prayer and reflection aimed at fostering peace worldwide. Local religious leaders are currently coordinating efforts to organize community-level vigils and services. Details regarding specific Miami-Dade locations and times for these local gatherings are anticipated to be released in the coming days.

This initiative provides an opportunity for residents of our diverse community to come together in a shared expression of hope and unity, echoing the Pope's call for global harmony in this gateway to the Americas. Further information on local participation will be shared as it becomes available from individual parishes and religious organizations.
