Pope Leo [ ministry accomplishment ]

The people of

Chiclayo, Peru

where he served as Bishop

from 2015-2023

have claimed him as one

of their own.

He arrived in Peru in 1985

at a time when internal conflict

terrorized much of the countryside,

killing many Peruvians and making

the countryside an uncommon destination

for foreigners.  He stayed until 1999;

he returned to Peru again in 2014,

becoming Bishop of Chiclayo in 2015.

By law he had to become a dual-citizen

of Peru due to diplomatic treaty between

Vatican City and the nation of Peru
