Leo from Chicago

I share with you today an interesting documentary done by the Vatican News Service about Pope Leo XIV and his connection with his native state of Chicago. There are various interviews and comments from his two brothers, various Augustinian priests who knew him and many personal friends who have kept contact with him over the years. We’ll meet some former classmates from Villanova University, Chicago White Sox baseball players and even childhood friends and past teachers who recollect his younger years. This documentary does not deal with his many years in Peru or other connections with the Vatican, just purely Robert Prevost and his Chicago affinity and native connection. There are many never-seen before photos from his years growing up, as his friends search their photo albums to share with us a slice of Pope Leo's younger years.
