From setting up campsites in their yards to charging for bathroom access: The residents of Luján are finding creative ways to make ends meet during Pope Leo XIV's visit

Residents of Luján, Argentina, are preparing to monetize the upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV by offering services such as room rentals, parking spaces, and camping spots in their backyards. The city expects three million pilgrims to attend the papal mass scheduled for November 11, which is described as the Pope’s final service in Argentina. Local vendors and neighbors view this event as a crucial economic opportunity to boost income during a period of financial difficulty. One resident, Lorena Palacios, who runs a family barbecue business after surviving cancer, plans to set up a campsite for 25 tents and provide sanitary facilities. Preparations around the Basilica include scaffolding and barriers, while street vendors sell religious images of the Virgin Mary, Pope Francis, and Pope Leo XIV.
