In this historic moment for the universal Church, we give thanks to God for the gift of a new pope \u2014 chosen to succeed Pope Francis and guide us forward in faith, love and missionary zeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/05\/leo-xiv-becomes-the-first-american-pope\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pope Leo XIV<\/a> brings with him a deep commitment to dialogue, peace, and global solidarity \u2014 values that echo the very heart of our missionary vocation. A seasoned pastoral leader and thoughtful theologian, he is known for his compassionate outreach and dedication to the spiritual and social needs of the Church, particularly in regions experiencing hardship and need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/05\/in-floods-or-at-mass-a-faithful-shepherd-pope-leoxiv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">missionary service in Peru<\/a>, working among underserved communities, reflect a profound dedication to the Church\u2019s mission of presence, accompaniment and evangelization. His firsthand experience on the peripheries of society has shaped his vision for a Church that listens, serves and uplifts \u2014 all grounded in Christ\u2019s love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As missioners, we have been deeply inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/06\/pope-francis-in-the-heart-of-the-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pope Francis\u2019<\/a> call to go to the peripheries, to serve the poor, and to be instruments of God\u2019s mercy and peace. We now look with prayerful anticipation to Pope Leo XIV, confident that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead the Church through his words and witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to join us in praying for our new pope, asking the Lord to bless him with wisdom, courage and compassion as he begins his ministry as the Vicar of Christ and visible sign of unity for the world\u2019s 1.4 billion Catholics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for walking with us on this missionary journey. Together, in communion with the successor of St. Peter, we remain committed to proclaiming the Gospel and witnessing to Christ\u2019s love around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The superior general of the Maryknoll Society commends Chicago native and longtime missioner in Peru, Pope Leo XIV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":3155,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","_eb_data_table":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29,25],"tags":[461,773,772,348,547,701,774],"class_list":["post-3154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fall-2025","category-featured-stories","tag-chicago","tag-chiclayo","tag-maryknoll-society","tag-peru","tag-pope-francis","tag-pope-leo-xiv","tag-superior-general-lance-nadeau"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
