Pope Leo XIV Arrives in Peru on Historic Visit to the Country Where He Served for More Than Two Decades
Pope Leo XIV arrived in Lima, where he was greeted by President Keiko Fujimori. According to Vatican estimates, around three million people lined the pontiff's route through the capital. The visit concludes a 12-day tour of South America and carries personal significance: before his election as pope, Robert Prevost served in Peru for more than twenty years and received Peruvian citizenship in 2015.
