After the institutional stop at Palazzo Pubblico, Pope Leo XIV reaches the Basilica of San Marino, where he pauses in eucharistic adoration and pays homage to the relics of the founding Saint, meeting the ecclesial community of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro, led by Bishop Domenico Beneventi, who describes it as a "welcoming State committed to paths of peace." In his address the Pope says: "We live in a world wounded by many conflicts, in which violence, closure and fear of the other are worryingly increasing. Faced with these troubling trends, our response can only be to walk with even greater conviction on the path of the Gospel." Addressing the young people present, he urges them: "Do not be afraid to make demanding choices." Before leaving San Marino, he blesses a newborn baby and greets the faithful gathered in the square.

During the transfer from San Marino to Rimini, Pope Leo XIV makes a brief private stop, not open to the media, at the Monastery of St. Anthony of Padua in Pennabilli, in the province of Rimini.

Pope Leo XIV lands at the Rimini Fairgrounds at 2:45 PM, welcomed by around 100,000 people along the route, 55,000 of them inside the fairgrounds. He visits the exhibition on Saint Augustine and the one on Léon Harmel, greets the young people gathered at the Youth Village, then speaks in the Grand Auditorium of the 47th Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples, organized by the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation, before around 20,000 people in the hall and another 20,000 in the connected halls with big screens. The 2026 Meeting is dedicated to the theme "The love that moves the sun and the other stars." In his address the Pope points to love as the method of redemption, opposed to the "false realism" that arms minds and nations, and calls on those present to take responsibility for purifying culture of arrogance and work of the "idolatry of profit," unmasking the unjust power relations at the root of poverty and conflict; he also urges young people to get involved and open themselves to universal catholicity. This is only the second time in the 47-year history of the Meeting that a Pontiff has made an official visit to Rimini, following that of John Paul II 44 years earlier.

After leaving the Fairgrounds, Pope Leo XIV continues his pastoral visit to Rimini with a meeting at the Malatestiano Temple, the city's Cathedral, with fragile and sick people, people with disabilities, and the poor assisted by Caritas: around 600 people in conditions of fragility are expected, including 80 in wheelchairs. In his greeting the Pope invites them to "let themselves be healed by Jesus" and to feel like a living part of the Church's journey.

After the meeting in the Cathedral, at 6:00 PM Pope Leo XIV walks to the port area through the Parco del Mare, and at 6:30 PM presides over Holy Mass for the city and for the entire Diocese of Rimini, broadcast live from the Port of Rimini. During the celebration, the original image of the Madonna della Misericordia, patroness of the city, is displayed and venerated. The liturgy is animated by an impressive diocesan musical ensemble of over 800 performers, including 650 choir members and 115 musicians from the youth orchestra directed by maestro Davide Tura, with organ by Paolo Accardi and an ecumenical Italian, Ukrainian and Russian choir performing Byzantine-Slavic chant in the Cathedral. In his homily the Pope says the world offers "scattering distractions" while true rest lies in "returning to oneself," and praises the straightforwardness and solidarity of the people of Romagna, quoting Fr. Oreste Benzi: "In the Church, authority is service."

After the Holy Mass at the Port of Rimini, Pope Leo XIV returns by helicopter to the Vatican in the evening, around 9:00 PM, concluding the state visit to San Marino and the pastoral visit to Rimini.
