As a young Augustinian friar, Robert Prevost came to the Angelicum to study canon law. Those years of prayer, study, and community life in the Eternal City prepared him for leadership in the Augustinian Order and, eventually, for the papacy.
Join us for Pope Leo and the Eternal City—a moving portrait of the first U.S.-born pope who, upon taking possession of St. John Lateran, told the faithful with conviction: “Sono Romano—I am Roman.”
We are preparing for the canonizations of Blesseds Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati. Join us for our live coverage from Rome of this historic moment in the life of the Church available across our social media.
Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes,
