MEXICO CITY (AP) – The latest on Pope Francis’ visit to Mexico (all times local):
3:40 p.m.
People have begun filling up a football stadium in the West Texas city of El Paso, where about 30,000 Catholic faithful are expected to watch a livestream of Pope Francis celebrating Mass just across the border in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
El Paso resident Andrea Herrera says she and her parents got to the University of Texas at El Paso’s Sun Bowl stadium at 7:30 a.m. to tailgate, eat the traditional Mexican soup called “menudo,” decorate candles and pray.
Herrera calls the event “our own pope-a-palooza.”
