History was made in St. Peter’s Square as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago was announced to the world as Pope Leo XIV—the first American pope. 🕊️🌿 As a Jesuit, Catholic university, Creighton joins the global Church in prayer and reflection during this sacred transition. In his first message, Pope Leo XIV calls us to build bridges, accept one another and to live in peace. It’s a sentiment that is woven into our mission and character as a community. May we keep Pope Leo XIV’s message in our hearts as we continue to lead with compassion and purpose! 💙 #PopeLeoXIV #CreightonUniversity #JesuitEducated #CatholicTradition
