Pope Leo XIV — the first U.S.-born Pope
Picture
We join in prayers with the Universal Church to celebrate the election of Cardinal Robert Prevost, O.S.A., as Pope Leo XIV. In his remarks given immediately after his election, the new Pope said he hopes that the Church, following the example of Christ and of the late Pope Francis, will be “a Church that … always strives to be close especially to those who suffer,” and he expressed his prayer and desire that all may “walk together” and “build bridges through dialogue and encounter.” 
May the Lord bless our new Pope with wisdom, courage, and compassion. May he be a shepherd after Christ’s own heart, and may his leadership guide the Church in building bridges that connect us to one another. 
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.  
Here are 14 things to know about Pope Leo XIV:
  1. Robert Francis Prevost was born on Sept. 14, 1955, in Chicago to Louis Marius Prevost, of French and Italian 
    Descent, and Mildred Martínez, of Spanish descent. He has two brothers, Louis Martín and John Joseph. 
  2. His father was a World War II Navy veteran and school superintendent; his mother was a librarian who was very involved in parish life.
  3. The new pope speaks multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese.
  4. He earned a bachelor of science degree in mathematics from Villanova University in 1977 before pursuing his religious vocation.
  5. He completed his secondary studies at the minor seminary of the Augustinians in 1973 in Michigan. In 1977, he became a member of the Order of St. Augustine and took his solemn vows in 1981. 
  6. He completed a master of divinity degree at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and earned a licentiate and doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical College of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. He went on to teach canon law in seminaries during his time in Peru.  
  7. He was ordained a priest on June 19, 1982, by Archbishop Jean Jadot in Rome.
  8. He served extensively in Peru from 1985 to 1998, working as a parish pastor, seminary teacher, and diocesan official. He was also part of the leadership of Caritas Peru, the Church’s charitable organization.
  9. After being elected the head of the Augustinian Province of Chicago, he returned to the U.S. in 1999. He was elected prior general of the Augustinians in 2001 and then reelected in 2007, serving as head of the order until 2013.
  10. Pope Francis appointed him apostolic administrator and then bishop of the Diocese of Chiclayo, Peru, in 2014 and 2015 respectively, and received episcopal consecration on Dec. 12, 2014, at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Chiclayo.
  11. He was made a cardinal by Pope Francis on Sept. 30, 2023. 
  12. While serving the Church in Peru, Francis made him a member of the Dicastery for the Clergy in 2019 and then a member of the Dicastery for Bishops in 2020. In 2023, Francis made him prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. 
  13. His episcopal motto — which is a bishop’s personal motto — is “In illo uno unum,” which means “In the one Christ we are one,” reflecting his commitment to unity.
  14. Prior to becoming pope, he had an active X account — the first to have his own social media account before becoming pope.
