American cardinals in Rome celebrate Pope Leo XIV
- Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope Leo XIV in 2024 in Rome.
- His election followed a secret conclave and surprised many at Marymount International School, an American-linked Catholic school in Rome where he had confirmed students.
- Pope Leo XIV confirmed more than thirty ninth graders, aged 14 or 15, during a May 11, 2024 Mass, where he engaged personally with each student, creating a sense of intimacy and peace.
- School head Sarah Gallagher said the students were absolutely elated and noted his quiet, unassuming manner that beautifully maintained a sense of the sacramental.
- The election of Cardinal Prevost, a relative newcomer to the curia brought by Pope Francis, highlights the Church’s choice of a missionary figure to lead its 1.4 billion faithful globally.
