HAPPY 71ST BIRTHDAY, POPE LEO!

On September 14, we celebrate the 71st birthday of our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.

Born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois, Robert Francis Prevost became the 267th pope of the Catholic Church when he was elected on May 8, 2025.

As we celebrate his birthday, let us thank God for the gift of his pastoral ministry and pray that the Lord may continue to grant him wisdom, strength, and good health as he shepherds the Church and serves the People of God.

May the Lord bless and keep our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, and guide him always in his ministry as the Successor of St. Peter.

✝️ NOVENA TO ST. PADRE PIO / Sept. 14-22, 2026
🙏 Prayer & Video — https://thecatholiccrusade.com/novena-to-padre-pio/

Novena begins this Monday, September 14, 2026

The “Novena to Padre Pio” asks for the prayers and intercession of St. Padre Pio, whose mystical gifts, devotion to the Eucharist, tireless ministry, and obedience to ecclesial authority made him an exemplary priest and a saint in the Catholic Church. Even in Heaven, he continues his ministry of obtaining healing & miracles.

St. Padre Pio, born Francesco Forgione in 1887 in Pietrelcina, Italy, was a Capuchin Franciscan friar renowned for bearing the stigmata, the wounds of Christ's Passion, for over fifty years. He devoted his life to prayer, penance, and the confessional, often spending many hours a day hearing confessions and guiding souls toward conversion. Canonized in 2002, St. Padre Pio is beloved for his humility, his mystical gifts, and his enduring exhortation to "pray, hope, and do not worry."
