The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, will meet Pope Leo XIV in Rome from April 25-28. The visit comes two days after her official installation as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of the Anglican Communion.
During her visit, Archbishop Mullally will discuss strengthening bonds of friendship and shared commitment with the Pope. She expressed gratitude for Pope Leo’s prayers and assured him of her own, seeking full and visible unity among Christians.
The meeting follows a common prayer service in Canterbury Cathedral, where Cardinal Kurt Koch delivered a letter from Pope Leo, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Common Declaration between the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
