After meeting with the faithful at the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace in Chiclayo, Pope Leo XIV toured the streets of his former diocese in the popemobile. Crowds gathered along the route, dancing and singing, eager to catch a glimpse of the man they once knew as their bishop.
The pope waved to the crowds as he made his way to the Catholic University of Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo. During his years in Chiclayo, Leo XIV was also the Grand Chancellor of the educational institution.
Once he arrived, he listened to testimonies from a student, a lecturer and a university official, before delivering an address on the challenges posed by scientific and technological development. He proposed ways to address these challenges while also protecting human dignity.
