We continue to say Habemus Papam!

We rejoice in the election of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV! From his chosen name and his first message to the world, we pray that he will continue the vision of the Church shared by Popes Francis and Leo XIII.

His Eminence, Robert Cardinal Prevost was elected Pope during the Conclave and has taken the name of Pope Leo XIV on the Feast of Our Lady of Pompeii. This feast commemorates the anniversary of the laying of the foundational stone in 1876 for a church in Pompeii, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, that would become a famous pilgrimage site.

This date was also the traditional feast day for St. Michael the Archangel, commemorating the 5th-century appearance of the Archangel in Monte Gargano, Italy. The Feast of St. Michael also includes the dedication of the Sanctuary of St. Michael built on the site of the apparition. Additionally, May 8th is also observed as Our Lady of Grace, a title of Mary, and by some traditions, it is also a day to remember St. Victor of Milan (Victor the Moor, Victor Maurus).
