Augustinians celebrate a year of the ʻgift of Pope Leo՚ with special Mass BY OSV NEWS NEW LENOX, Ill. (OSV News) -- Pope Leo XIV՚s brother Augustinians and others from the Chicago-area looked back with gratitude on the past year since the election of one of their own at a special Mass May 8. Augustinians of the Midwest and SpainbasedAugustinian sisters living in the Chicago area attended the thanksgiving Mass at St. Jude Catholic Church in New Lenox, just southwest of Chicago. The Augustinian-run parish is where Pope Leo XIV last visited the U.S., in August 2024, when he was still Cardinal Robert F. Prevost. “How blessed we are and how fortunate we are and I know that many of us at some point in time have met him, have talked with him, have spent time with him,” said Augustinian Father Anthony B. Pizzo at the opening of the Mass. Father Pizzo is the outgoing superior of the Midwest Augustinians, a position the pope once held. Five Augustinians and Passionist Father Enzo Del Brocco, president of Catholic Theological Union, where Pope Leo received his master՚s of divinity, concelebrated the Mass. Afterward, Father John Lydon, the pope's longtime friend from college and his missionary days in Peru, said, “We need his moral guidance, his moral voice in our world of today. And he has courageously stepped up to that.”
