With joy in our hearts and reverence in our voices, we share history in the making: a new pope has been elected.

Habemus Papam! The bells of St. Peter’s Basilica ring out as Catholics around the world rejoice in the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, O.S.A., from Chicago. Illinois.

Cardinal Prevost, is an American prelate born in Chicago in 1955. A member of the Order of Saint Augustine, he has served extensively in both the United States and Peru as a missionary, educator, and Church leader. After earning a doctorate in canon law in Rome, he held key roles in formation and ecclesiastical governance in Peru, including judicial vicar and seminary professor. He later served as Prior General of the Augustinians globally. Appointed bishop of Chiclayo in 2015, he went on to become a member of several Vatican congregations. In January 2023, Pope Francis named him Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

At this sacred moment, we invite you to join us LIVE for full coverage, Catholic insights into this historic event you won’t find anywhere else, and reflections on what this means for the Church today.

WATCH & LISTEN LIVE!

Together, let us give thanks for the Holy Spirit’s guidance and pray for our new pontiff as he embarks on this mission to lead the Church with courage, compassion, and fidelity to Christ.

Thank you for staying tuned!
