Serpost presented a commemorative issue for Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Peru on 5 November. The postal operator’s account identifies Vice-Minister of Communications Dalia Miroslava Suárez Salazar, apostolic nuncio Paolo Rocco Gualtieri, Peruvian Episcopal Conference president Carlos García Camader, conference secretary general Guillermo Inca and Serpost board chairman Gustavo González de Otoya La Torre among the participants.

The operator’s photograph shows four stamps, each inscribed S/6.00, on a first-day envelope. Three designs use photographs of the pontiff: a portrait in liturgical dress, a scene before a religious painting and a scene beside a statue. The fourth uses a red graphic incorporating his face and religious figures with the visit’s “Abramos el corazón” wording. The envelope’s special cancellations are dated 05-11-2026. The date range 11–16 November printed elsewhere on the envelope refers to the advertised visit, rather than the stamp’s first day.

The Catholic news agency AICA reports a production of 20,000 stamps, with individual stamps priced at six soles and nationwide availability through Serpost offices from 5 November. It also identifies the nuncio as performing the ceremonial cancellation. Serpost says the commemorative products are available through its offices nationwide.
