Our Holy Father

Pope Leo XIV, formerly known as Robert Francis Prevost, was chosen by the College of Cardinals as the 267th successor to Saint Peter on May 8, 2025. His election marks a historic moment as the first pope from North America and the first from the Order of Saint Augustine. Rooted in the tradition of service and evangelization, he previously guided the Church as the Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, bringing with him a wealth of missionary experience from his years in Peru.

Inspired by the legacy of Pope Leo XIII, Pope Leo XIV has embraced Catholic social teaching as a cornerstone of his papacy, advocating for justice, dignity, and the common good. Since ascending to the Chair of Saint Peter, he has called for unity among the faithful, a renewed commitment to peace, and a compassionate response to global conflicts, reflecting the Church’s mission to be a beacon of hope in the world.
