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 Rome, local faith communities are encouraged to organize their own observances in solidarity.

The announcement from the Vatican calls for a moment of collective prayer and reflection, aiming to foster unity and peace worldwide. Local churches and religious organizations across Miami-Dade, coordinated by the Archdiocese of Miami and including historic parishes in neighborhoods like Little Havana, are expected to host their own services and gatherings to mark the occasion.

Details regarding specific local vigils are anticipated to be announced by individual parishes and faith leaders in the coming days. Residents interested in participating are encouraged to contact their local church or religious institution for more information on how they can join in this global call for peace.
