The Bishop of the Diocese of the Canary Islands, José Mazuelos, announced that all arrangements for Pope León XIV's imminent visit to the archipelago, scheduled for June 11 and 12, will be concluded today. Speaking at the CANARIAS7 Forum, Mazuelos stated that final details would be settled with the Vatican delegation, security coordinated with the Government, and the protocol, including the papamobile's arrival at the cathedral, would be defined.

The event, held at the newspaper's headquarters under the title 'Gran Canaria Welcomes the Pope,' also served as an occasion for the bishop to express his joy over the recent victory of UD Las Palmas. This sporting result also ensures that the papal visit will not coincide with a match of the local team.

The Pontiff's visit, arriving in Gran Canaria on Thursday, June 11, and moving to Tenerife the following day, has generated significant anticipation and will place the islands at the center of international attention.

The CANARIAS7 Forum, organized by the newspaper, featured the participation of the President of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, and Bishop José Mazuelos himself. The debate panel, moderated by the newspaper's director, Francisco Suárez, analyzed the historical significance, impact, and legacy of this unprecedented event for the Canary Islands.
