Leon, Mexico, Jan 16, 2012 / 14:11 pm
A religious order unveiled new details on the convent where Pope Benedict and his entourage will be staying during his upcoming visit to Mexico March 23-26.
While in the city of Leon on March 23, the Pope will stay with the Servants of the Most Holy Eucharist and of the Mother of God in a remodeled room described as “very austere.”
“It will have a night stand, a crucifix, a statue of the Virgin Mary and a rosary,” community superior Mother Rocio told CNA on Jan. 15.
She noted that the Pope usually stays in a convent or monastery when he travels to a city where there is no Apostolic Nunciature.
