Journey to Peru: greeting in Chiclayo, arrival in Cusco and meeting with popular devotion at Saqsaywaman, with the Golden Rose
Today's Holy See Press Office Bulletin, Sunday 15 November, contains two communications, both on Leo XIV's Apostolic Journey to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. There are no appointments or resignations: no appointments so far.
Greeting of the Holy Father at the exit of the Bishop's residence in Chiclayo, departure from Chiclayo and arrival in Cusco. At 7.30 (13.30 in Rome) the Pope took leave of the Bishop's residence, addressed an impromptu greeting to those present and went by car to Chiclayo airport, departing at 8.00 on a LATAM Airlines A320. The plane landed in Cusco at 9.39. The Bulletin publishes the greeting: "We want to give thanks to God for these days. […] May Chiclayo always be the “capital of friendship.” And may it also be a city, a province, and a land of faith, devotion and fidelity."

Meeting with the Faithful and Representatives of Popular Devotion at the “Saqsaywaman” National Archaeological Park. At 10.47 (16.47 in Rome) Leo XIV arrived by open car at the Archaeological Park, in the presence of approximately 100 thousand people; around 500 thousand lined the streets of Cusco. After the welcome from Archbishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera, the prayer and a Gospel reading, the Pope delivered his homily, followed by the presentation of the Golden Rose, the Salve Regina and the Prayer to Our Lady of Belén. At the end, after the Lord's Prayer and the blessing, he went to the Cathedral Basilica for the Angelus. The Bulletin publishes the homily.
