Pope Leo XIV will stay at the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo between July 6 and 20, the Vatican said on Tuesday.
    Leo's predecessor Pope Francis did not use the summer residence and it was turned into museum in 2016.
    "On the afternoon of Sunday, July 6, the Holy Father Leo XIV will move to the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo for a period of rest," read a statement by the Prefecture of the Papal Household.
    "On Sunday, July 13, at 10:00 a.m.

the Holy Father will celebrate Holy Mass in the Pontifical Parish of San Tommaso da Villanova in Castel Gandolfo.

At 12:00 p.m. he will recite the Angelus prayer in Piazza della Libertà, in front of the Apostolic Palace.
    "On Sunday, July 20, at 9:30 a.m. the Holy Father will celebrate Holy Mass in the Cathedral of Albano. At 12:00 p.m. he will recite the Angelus in Piazza della Libertà in Castel Gandolfo.
    In the afternoon the Holy Father will return to the Vatican".
