The Mary Ward Family worldwide was grateful for the election of the new Pope Leo XIV. Some of our sisters have been specially moved by the choice of the cardinals during the conclave: The sisters in Peru have got to know Cardinal Prevost much better then most of us, as he was first their local priest and later their Bishop.
They have written us a short message describing their experiences:
“He is a shepherd that smells like sheep. Thank you for your shared life in Peru, you walked with your northern people during the El nino phenomenon and the pandemic. Pope Leon XIV, your people are with you.”
