Governor Samuel García expressed his joy over the election of the new Pope, Leo XIV, and announced his intention to invite him to visit the new León Dam in Nuevo León. This gesture comes in a context where previous pontiffs have been invited to the region, such as in 2022, when an invitation was extended to Pope Francis through Apostolic Nuncio Joseph Spiteri. On that occasion, García highlighted the importance of papal presence for the Catholic community of Nuevo León, where 77% of the population professes this religion.
In a brief video shared on social media, the governor congratulated the Church and Catholics on the election of the new Pope, emphasizing the relevance of Leo XIV's arrival in Nuevo León and the León Dam. With the message "Signals, signals!", García referenced the name chosen by the Pontiff and the state of Nuevo León, expressing his enthusiasm for this coincidence.
These statements add to García's interest in bringing the new Pope closer to the Catholic community of Nuevo León, highlighting the importance of this visit for the people of Nuevo León. The expectation and excitement for the possible presence of Leo XIV in the region are evident in the words shared by the governor, who hopes that this meeting materializes in the near future.
