Pope Leo XIV
 
Viva il Papa!

Robert Prevost was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 14, 1955, the son of Louis Marius Prevost and Mildred Martinez. He completed his secondary studies at the minor seminary of the Order of St. Augustine in 1973. Prevost earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at Villanova University.


He joined the Order of St. Augustine in 1977 and took vows in 1981.  He was ordained a priest in 1982. 

Prevost served as a missionary in Peru for many years, working as a parish priest, teacher, and pastor. 

He was appointed as the Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, 2014 to 2023.

In 2023, he was made a cardinal by Pope Francis and appointed as the Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops at the Vatican.  This office is in charge of nominating bishops throughout the world.

On May 8, 2025 he was elected Bishop of Rome and Successor of St. Peter.

Let us remember Pope Leo in our prayers as he begins his ministry in the global Church.

“Lord, preserve him and give him life and make him blessed upon the earth.  Deliver him not up to the will of the enemy.”  (Psalm 41:1)  

God grant him many years!

Pope Francis
1936-2025
 
Today, we received the sad news that Pope Francis has passed. Let us pray that he may enter into the fullness of eternal life.
 
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
- and let perpetual light shine upon him.
 
Grant, we pray, O Lord, that the soul of Francis, your servant and Bishop whom you honored with the office of pope, may exult for ever in the glorious home of heaven. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
 
Let us pray an Our Father, a Hail Mary and a Glory Be for the salvation of the soul of Pope Francis.
 
According to the liturgical law of the Church, Masses for the dead, except for an actual funeral Mass, may not be celebrated during the octave of Easter. The octave of Easter (the eight days after Easter Sunday) is always kept as a continuation of the joy of Easter Sunday.
 
A Mass for the repose of the pope’s soul will be offered on Tuesday, April 29th, at 5:30pm.
 
May Pope Francis rest in peace and rise in joy.
