In 2025, the Vatican will be marked by the Jubilee, with an increase in Pope Francis' meetings with the faithful. In addition to public catecheses on Wednesdays, Saturdays will also be included. Highlights include the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis on April 27, a young Italian who died at the age of 15 in 2006.
Francis also plans a trip to Nicaea, Turkey, for an ecumenical gathering to commemorate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. Other possible trips are in speculation, but will depend on his state of health, since, although he is still active, his mobility has been reduced and he increasingly uses a wheelchair.
