Habemus Papam! We welcome our new pope, Pope Leo XIV, with joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit guide him as he leads the Church with faith, humility, and love.

As teachers enjoy their lunch together while parents cover recess duty, they’re celebrating by watching the live feed of our new pope!

Seniors watching the new Pope announcement on their last day as a St. Mary’s Colgan Panther. The last time this happened, the Class of 2025 were kindergarteners.
