Peruvian bishops held a solemn Mass at the Lima Cathedral to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the canonization of Saint Toribio de Mogrovejo. The ceremony, led by Cardinal Carlos Castillo, also marked the end of the 130th Plenary Assembly of the Peruvian Episcopate. During the event, the relics of the saint were transferred to the Bishop of Chosica to begin a journey through the dioceses of the Ecclesiastical Province of Lima.

Following the commemorations, the Peruvian bishops presented the 2026 Cardenal Juan Landázuri Ricketts National Social Communication Award to EWTN Noticias. The outlet was recognized for its seven-part reportage series, ‘Lima celebra a Santo Toribio’, which explored the legacy of the second Archbishop of Lima and patron of the Latin American episcopate.
