HALLELUJAH! HABEMUS PAPAM!

Congratulations to His Eminence Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost on being elected the 237th pope. We join the global Catholic community in rejoicing the first American pontiff, Pope Leo XIV.

Join us for an online Rosary in memory of Pope Francis, whom the Lord has summoned. In deep spiritual communion, we will pray together and pay tribute to the life and ministry of our humble pastor, who was close to the poor and a witness to the Gospel.
