      "My husband and I had the honor to attend the sposi novelli ceremony and have our marriage blessed. We married in Brownsville on October 21, 2023, and traveled the following month to meet Pope Francis. It was such an honor and blessing to see him in person. It was an experience we will always cherish. May he rest in peace." -Luz and Arnoldo Villarreal (Nov. 22, 2023) /photoalbums/the-rgv-meets-pope-francis/IMG_3479.jpeg _parent
