Special Mass for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.
We are delighted to invite you to a special Mass in honor of our newly elected Pope. This joyous occasion will be a time for our community to come together in prayer and celebration on Friday, May 9th at 12:00 Noon, to celebrate Pope Leo XIV. Join us as we welcome our new spiritual leader, Chicago native Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, and seek blessings for his papacy. Your presence will be greatly appreciated. Chosen as the 267th pope, the first American in the history of the Catholic Church, he proclaimed, “Peace be with you all!” in his first greeting to the world.
