Chicago tour takes visitors to Pope Leo XIV’s childhood home in Dolton<\/p>\n

He’s now known across the world as Pope Leo XIV, but people in Chicago first knew him as Robert Prevost. Now a new tour is taking people to see where the pope grew up and took his first steps toward the Vatican.<\/p>\n

The $65 public tour starts at Holy Name Cathedral, where the pope’s parents were married in 1949.<\/p>\n

During the 2 \u00bd-hour tour, you can visit his birthplace in Bronzeville; Catholic Theological Union seminary in Hyde Park, where he trained for the priesthood; as well as his childhood church. The tour also stops at the pope’s childhood home in south suburban Dolton.<\/p>\n

The village board recently bought that house, with plans to make it a historic site.<\/p>\n

The tour doesn’t stop at the pope’s favorite pizza place, Aurelio’s, but it does offer a 20% discount for later.<\/p>\n

Tours are scheduled through Oct. 11.<\/a><\/p>\n
