The Pope concluded his visit to Argentina in Luján, one of the country’s major Catholic pilgrimage sites.

“Thank you, Argentina, for welcoming me with open arms,” the Pope told the crowd gathered around the basilica at the holy site, just west of the capital, Buenos Aires.

Less than a month after undergoing surgery for lung cancer, Pope Leo XIV began his visit to Latin America on Friday. The first Mass of the trip was held in Uruguay.
