The Pope will preside over Second Vespers Jan. 25 for the Solemnity of the Conversion of Saint Paul. The liturgy will take place at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside-the-Walls.
On Feb. 2, the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Pope Leo will say Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica.

On Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18, Pope Leo will lead Stations of the Cross and a penitential procession at the Church of Saint Anselm, and Mass at the Basilica of Saint Sabina.
Pope Leo will also preside over the first and last day of the spiritual exercises of the Holy Father and the Roman Curia, which takes place Feb. 22-27.
