The Holy Father spent time at the seat of his former diocese, celebrated Mass, and met with local Catholics.

Pope Leo XIV on Nov. 14 visited his former cathedral in Peru, participated in a Marian crowning ceremony, celebrated Mass in the Santa Cruz province, and met with local Catholics during a packed Saturday in his adopted country.

The Pope held a papal Mass in Santa Cruz de Succhabamba and later returned to Chiclayo to participate in a prayer vigil marking the closing of the jubilee year of the canonization of St. Turibius of Mogrovejo.

Here are photos of the Pope’s activities on Nov. 14:
