Rt Rev John Chalmers will travel to Rome to meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday February 16.
It's the first meeting between a Pope and Moderator at the Vatican since 2001.
Rt Revd Chalmers said: "I am honoured to be able to meet with His Holiness Pope Francis. I hope to be able to discuss a range of issues including faith in the 21st century.
"I will also share with His Holiness my sense that for some years now ministers and priests have found new levels of friendship. People's attitudes have changed as they have come to see in 'the other', first a shared humanity and then a shared faith."
