Pope Leo XIV Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, the Chicago-born prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, was elected the 267th pope on May 8, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. He becomes the first North American to be elected pope and brings with him deep missionary experience, having served many years in Peru. Let us join together in prayer and thanksgiving as Pope Leo XIV begins his ministry as the successor of St. Peter, shepherd of the universal Church.
