Chicago elementary school students meet Pope Leo XIV in Vatican City
The children attended the pontiff’s weekly audience — some dressed as the pope, as the swiss guard and cardinals.
At the end of the audience the pope went over to greet the students, shake hands and take pictures.
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich was also in attendance as he celebrates 50 years as a priest, also known as a 50th jubilee.
Families financed the trip independently, with donations from others in the parish as well as from parishes across the Midwest.
Robert Francis Prevost, born in Chicago and raised in Dolton, was selected to lead the Catholic Church as the 267th pope in May. Pope Leo XIV is the first pope from the United States in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church.
