Luanda: Pope Leo XIV has concluded his visit to Angola and is now travelling to Equatorial Guinea for the final stage of his African journey.
On his last morning in Angola, the Pope celebrated a private Mass at the Apostolic Nunciature in Luanda. The quiet moment of prayer marked the end of his three-day stay in the country.
After the Mass, he travelled to the airport where he was seen off by João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço. The farewell was simple but respectful, reflecting the importance of the visit for both the Church and the nation.
The papal plane departed Luanda at 9:19 in the morning, bringing to a close this part of his Apostolic Journey.
During his time in Angola, Pope Leo visited Luanda, Muxima and Saurimo. He met with the faithful, clergy and local communities, offering prayers and messages of hope.
Pope is now heading to Equatorial Guinea, where he will stay until April 23. This marks the final leg of his 11-day visit to four African countries.
