Pope Leo XIV

Pope 1

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We have an American pope!

It's Robert Francis Prevost!

Habemus Papam: Pope Leo XIV!

The new pope, US cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, will be known as Pope Leo XIV.

It’s been a long while since we had a pope with this name: last Leo, Leo XIII, was elected in 1878 and served until his death in 1903.

Please pray for our new Holy Father.
