Catholics in Peoria celebrate Chicago’s Pope Leo XIV with Mass of Thanksgiving

  • 19.05.2025

PEORIA (25News Now) – On Sunday, Pope Leo XIV was inaugurated at the Vatican with a Mass of Thanksgiving.

Catholics in Peoria extended this celebration with their own Mass of Thanksgiving.

Pope Leo XIV began his papacy earlier this month, replacing the late Pope Francis. Leo is the first pope from the U.S., having been raised in the Chicago area.

Before his election as Pope, the former Cardinal Robert Prevost spent the majority of his time as a missionary in Peru.

Bishop Louis Tylka, leader of Peoria’s Catholic Diocese, said the Mass of Thanksgiving is a way for Catholics to be united and pray for the new Pontiff’s journey.

This is an “opportunity for us to join Catholics offering praise and worship to God, and Thanksgiving for the gift of the Holy Father,” said Tylka.

It’s Leo himself who said unifying the church is a major objective of his pontificate.
