CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV made a private visit to the general curia of the Order of St. Augustine on May 13, celebrated Mass in the chapel there, and joined members of the order for lunch.
The Pontiff, who was prior general of the Order of St. Augustine from 2001 to 2013, “told us we must always stay close to one another, and live in communion, just as Saint Augustine calls us to do,” said Father Alejandro Moral, the current prior general.
