Statement from Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone on the election of Pope Leo XIV

With profound joy, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Pope Leo XIV on his election as the Supreme Pontiff. May his papacy inspire unity and peace to a world in need to Christ’s love. May the Holy Spirit guide him, and may he be a beacon of wisdom and hope as he takes on this sacred responsibility.

Please join me in praying for His Holiness Pope Leo XIV as he begins his sacred ministry.
