Pope Leo XIV's first stop in the mountainous Cajamarca region was the parish of the Immaculate Conception in Santa Cruz de Succhabamba.
He told parishioners the visit was a dream come true. The Pope also spent time speaking with sick members of the parish, and prayed before the Blessed Sacrament and the parish's image of the Resurrected Christ. From the parish, he travelled in the popemobile to celebrate Mass.
