Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will attend Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural mass in Vatican City on Sunday, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to NBC News.

Vance will travel this weekend to Vatican City where he will attend the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV, history’s first American pontiff, who has previously been critical of him.

The Vice President met with Pope Francis just a day before he passed away. Vance is now back at the Holy See, this time with his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance.
