The pope’s current calendar has him taking a break from public liturgies from July 8 to Sept. 1. Prior to that, he is expected to preside over at least three events on his liturgical schedule. Yet Francis has continued the tradition of taking the month of July off from his public audiences , something that in recent years has given him the chance to recover from medical surgeries in June 2023 and July 2021.
On July 1, the pope will convene a consistory of cardinals concerning the upcoming canonization of new saints. According to the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, the canonizations to be discussed include that of Carlo Acutis, Giuseppe Allamano, Marie-Léonie Paradis, and Elena Guerra as well as the “Martyrs of Damascus” killed in hatred of the faith in 1860.
