POPE LEO XIV

As Catholics, we embrace the Holy Father with love, respect, and faithful obedience, recognizing in him the visible sign of Christ’s guidance for the Church on earth.

Let us pray that our new Holy Father will inspire a new generation of believers. Let us continue to form all people who are ready to lead with faith, serve with compassion, and live as joyful witnesses to Christ.

Pope Leo XIV is the first American pope ever. He grew up in Chicago and went to Villanova University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The only negative thing about the pope is that he is a Chicago White Sox fan.

Some alumni in our parish from Villanova know him and respect him. One parishioner said, "We always knew something special was going to happen to him."

We entrust Pope Leo XIV to the maternal care of Our Lady, and we ask the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with renewed zeal for the Gospel.

On May 8, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV by the College of Cardinals as the 266th successor of St. Peter, making him the 267th pope and the first from the United States.
