Pope Leo XIV made his first public outing on Saturday since being elected, stopping to pray at the tomb of Pope Francis at St Mary Major Basilica in Rome.
On Saturday afternoon, he visited the Marian sanctuary in Genazzano, a historic pilgrimage site managed by the Augustinian order, to which he belongs.
After spending time in prayer, the pontiff greeted the faithful and offered a blessing outside the sanctuary. The visit also carried symbolic weight, as his namesake, Pope Leo XIII, had elevated the sanctuary to a minor basilica in the early 20th century.
Earlier in the day, during his first formal audience, Pope Leo called on the Catholic Church to take the lead in addressing emerging global challenges, including the impact of artificial intelligence on workers.
