Today, the Church celebrates with joy the election of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. He assumes the role as our new universal Pastor. Leo XIV possesses profound theological wisdom and a long trajectory of humble service to faith. He brings a history of dedication to social justice. He promotes inter-religious dialogue and spiritual renewal of the Church.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide him with courage, wisdom and love. This new mission places him at the head of Christ’s flock.

God bless the Holy Father! Long live the Pope!
