Pope Leo XIV on Monday received an audience of priests, religious and laypeople from Chiclayo, Perú, where he served as bishop from 2014 to 2023.

During the audience, Pope Leo said that “Peru is present in my life and in my heart… I give my thanks to Peru for all this solidarity, and for so many signs of affection and friendship… Long live Chiclayo!”
