U.S. Vice President Mike Pence speaks to Central American leaders during Conference on Prosperity and Security in Central America at Florida International University on June 15.

Vice President Mike Pence will be in Miami on Wednesday.

As part of the visit, Pence is scheduled to deliver remarks at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Doral, according to an invitation to the event obtained by the Miami Herald.

The invitation doesn’t say what topic Pence plans to address. But the venue appears designed to talk about Venezuela: The church’s pastor, the Rev. Israel Mago, was born in Venezuela. Doral has so many immigrants from the South American country that the city is known as Doralzuela.
