Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Pope Leo's Spain Visit to Highlight Migration and Social Justice
Caption: Pope Leo's Spain Visit to Highlight Migration and Social Justice. Pope Leo XIV will travel to Spain from June 6 to June 12 on his first visit to a European Union country outside Italy since becoming pope. The trip will combine major religious events with a strong emphasis on migration, solidarity and social justice. One of the most symbolic moments will be his visit to the Canary Islands, where he is expected to meet migrants who reached Europe through the perilous Atlantic route from West Africa. Church officials say the pope wants to send a clear message of support for migrants and refugees at a time when immigration remains a contentious political issue. During the visit, Leo will also become the first pope to address the Spanish parliament and is scheduled to meet King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia in Madrid. In Barcelona, he will inaugurate a new tower of the Sagrada Família, one of the country's most important religious and architectural landmarks. Leo is also expected to meet survivors of clergy sexual abuse, reinforcing his commitment to accountability and social justice within the Catholic Church.
