Dear friends,

It is with great joy that we invite you to the presentation of the book Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope, authored by the veteran Catholic journalist and historian Dr. Matthew Bunson, Vice President and Editorial Director of EWTN News.

This landmark biography offers the first comprehensive and authoritative portrait of the life, formation, and extraordinary journey of our new Holy Father—Pope Leo XIV—whose election to the Chair of St. Peter continues to inspire the Church and the world.
