With the whole Church, we unite in giving thanks to God for Pope Leo XIV
As Dehonians, we are not indifferent to the name he has chosen for his Pontificate
Dear confreres and friends of the Dehonian Family,
With the whole Church, we unite in giving thanks to God for Pope Leo XIV, recently elected.
As Dehonians, we are not indifferent to the name he has chosen for his Pontificate.
In the context of the Dehonian jubilee we are celebrating, it is very meaningful to us that our new Pontiff chose the same name as the Pope who so greatly inspired the life and apostolate of our Venerable Fr. Leo Dehon.
Following the example of our Founder, let us pray and collaborate with the mission the Church has entrusted to this new Leo on the Chair of the Apostle Peter. May he remain docile to the action of the Spirit and faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Fraternally, in Corde Iesu
Fr. Carlos Luis Suárez Codorniú, SCJ
Superior General
Along with this message, I enclose an interview from last year conducted by Luca Ciciriello, a reporter for Tele Dehon, an apostolate of the ITM Province, on the occasion of a visit by then-Cardinal Robert Prevost to Andria (Italy).
