The last line of the page contains the caveat: "the program may be subject to change". One sure addition will be stamps to commemorate the election of Pope Leo XIV and the inauguration of his pontificate.
Vatican City collectors are surely anticipating more news regarding new issues, release dates and the availability to order these products from CFN in July.
