President Higgins will meet Pope Francis in a private audience in the Vatican.

The two leaders last met in 2018, when President Higgins welcome the pontiff to Ireland.

When the President met Pope Francis in May 2017, he presented the Pope with a Climate Bell. The bell, made by the Irish artist Vivienne Roche, sounds a symbolic warning about the threats of climate change. Both the pope and Higgins have repeatedly expressed their urgent concern about this issue.
