55Plus Series: A New Shepherd, A Renewed Call: Pope Leo XIV

In May 2025, history was made with the election of Pope Leo XIV – the first American-born pope and a lifelong Augustinian with deep pastoral and missionary roots. But what does this moment mean for Catholics in the United States? Join Greg Carnevale, retired professor of classics, for a reflection on Pope Leo’s emphasis on mercy, mission, and peace, and how his leadership echoes the legacy of Leo XIII and Pope Francis. This presentation is part of the 55 Plus Series, exploring spirituality and vitality in the second half of life.
