The Holy Father said that he will hold a Consistory on September 30, 2023 for the appointment of the new Cardinals. The soon-to-be Cardinals come from all across the world, and will be appointed before the Synod on Synodality begins the following month. 

"Where they come from expresses the universality of the Church, which continues to proclaim the merciful love of God to all people of the earth," the Pope expressed.

"In addition," he continued, "the insertion of the new Cardinals in the Diocese of Rome, manifests the inseparable bond between the See of Peter and the local Churches spread throughout the world."
