Residents of Pope Leo XIV's 'adoptive city' in Peru celebrate his inaugural mass

Residents of Chilcayo, Peru gather overnight as they prepare to celebrate the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV.

The US-born pontiff was made bishop of the city in 2014, after two decades of work as a missionary in Peru.

Many here say it is his 'adoptive city' and remember him for his work with the poor, and for bringing the church closer to local residents.
