Just days after making history as the first American Pope, Illinois native Pope Leo XIV is preparing for a reunion with his siblings in Rome, where his brother John Prevost will join him to celebrate this unprecedented moment for the Catholic Church and Chicago alike.

Pope Leo XIV made his first trip outside Rome since being elected as leader of the Catholic Church. The pope was driven to the Augustinian Sanctuary of the Mother of Good Counsel on Saturday afternoon local time, the Vatican said.

The morning after John Prevost watched his younger brother Robert become Pope Leo XIV, he received a familiar phone call.
