Celebrating Pope Leo XIV This ornament honors the historic papacy of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope. "Peace be with all of you," his first words as pope as he spoke to the crowd of thousands in St. Peter's Square. Known for his deep compassion and commitment to global outreach, Pope Leo XIV served with distinction in Peru, where he devoted years to uplifting communities and strengthening the Catholic Church’s mission. His papacy marks a new chapter of unity, compassion and hope for Christians around the world.
