Celebrating Pope Leo’s Birthday in the Vatican

Prayers for Pope Leo, Frassati's niece, 10 years of Italian language news, Pope Leo's motorcycle, and more.

Happy birthday to Pope Leo! On Sunday, Pope Leo celebrated his 70th birthday. Let us say a prayer for his ministry. And, the next time you visit Rome, make sure you try the new gelato flavor made just for him!

Continuing in the joy of the recent canonization, we reflect on Saint Carlo Acutis’ love for the Eucharist and Saint Pier Giorgio’s compassion for the poor. 

We also sit down with the niece of Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati, who, alongside cherished personal memories, safeguards unique artifacts of the youthful saint.

EWTN is also celebrating the 10 year anniversary of ACI Stampa, EWTN’s Italian language news service.

You don’t want to miss Pope Leo enjoying the motorcycle, now bearing his autograph, that will be auctioned to provide for children in Madagascar.

Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes,

Andreas Thonhauser
