Just what was it like to be present when the white smoke and Pope Leo XIV appeared? Check out our former worship director's first-hand account!

Nuntio vobis gaudium magnum. Habemus Papam! “I announce to you a great joy. We have a pope!” I’ve heard those words before on television after the elections of both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis — but this time, I heard those words in person, as a graduate student at a pontifical univer...

Plan to join Archbishop Jeffrey Grob for a Mass of Thanksgiving for Pope Leo XIV next week! See details in the post.

We rejoice with the Universal Church for what God has done in giving us a new successor to St. Peter. The wonderful qualities that already have been seen in the life and ministry of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, shown by his vision to leave his homeland and to go on mission in service to people of another land, renew in us our own call to be missionaries of the Gospel.

The choice of the name Leo, starting with Leo the Great (Leo the first) as a great reformer of the Church, up to Leo XIII, whose writings about the Church’s social doctrine, especially in Rerum Novarum, recall for us our own commitment to peace and justice.

We honor the memory of Pope Francis and now rejoice with Leo XIV, asking God to grant him the wisdom and peace of heart to shepherd well. As Americans, it is especially gratifying to witness the history of the first American Pope.

I invite people to join me in prayer and celebration as I celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving on Tuesday, May 13, at 6 p.m., at our Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.

Most Reverend Jeffrey S. Grob
Archbishop of Milwaukee

Archbishop Jeffrey Grob and our other local Church leaders share their reactions to the death of Pope Francis earlier today.

On the morning following joyous celebrations of Easter throughout the world, we are awakened by the painful announcement that Pope Francis has died.

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of a man whose tremendous faith and vision shepherded the Church through many challenges over the course of the past 12 years.

Although we now grieve, we take solace in the words of the Risen Christ who in today's gospel encountered Mary Magdalene and the other Mary coming from the tomb and told them, "Do not be afraid."

As people of faith, we turn to the One who is the Resurrection and the Life and ask him to receive Pope Francis into the halls of the heavenly banquet and to give him eternal rest.
