We Are Church International wish to make it clear that we have not been invited to meet with Pope Leo XlV in October as reported in some media.

We applied to take part in the Jubilee of the Synod Teams 24-26 October 2025 in Rome as another participating organization. We were pleased that our registration was accepted upon submission. To us, this is a positive sign that confirms the Church is listening to everyone.

Along with many hundreds of delegates from around the world we look forward to hearing Pope Leo XlV deliver his address. But we are clear that no special meeting will take place with the pope and our group.
