The Vatican has officially confirmed that Pope Leo XIV will hold an Extraordinary Consistory on January 7-8:
The Vatican’s statement:
“As announced last November, the Holy Father has convened the first Extraordinary Consistory of His Pontificate, to be held on January 7 and 8, 2026.
The meeting will take place over two days and will be characterized by moments of communion and fraternity, as well as times dedicated to reflection, sharing, and prayer. These moments will be oriented toward fostering common discernment and offering support and advice to the Holy Father in the exercise of his exalted and demanding responsibility in governing the universal Church.
The Consistory takes place within the context of the life and mission of the Church and seeks to strengthen the communion between the Bishop of Rome and the Cardinals, who are called to collaborate in a special way in the care for the good of the universal Church."
Sources close to the Holy Father have said that Pope Francis’ pontificate will end and Pope Leo's will fully begin on January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany and the day the Jubilee Year officially concludes.
