Vance's visit to India will follow their trip to Italy.
In Rome, Vance is expected to meet with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is due to visit the White House on Thursday.
Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, will also meet with Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, according to his office.
He is expected to participate in ceremonies around Easter Sunday.
