• Our seminarian Michael DesOrmeaux was blessed with the opportunity to meet Pope Leo XIV with other students currently at the Pontifical North American College in Rome on Sunday, August 24, 2025.

      Pope Leo received seminarians in a private audience before leading the Angelus in St. Peter’s Square. He then offered words of encouragement and his blessing. As he started to leave, the group began to sing, “Ad Multos Annos,” (“to many more”).

      DesOrmeaux is continuing his studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome as he enters his first year of Configuration Stage. He is a parishioner of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the son of David and Courtney DesOrmeaux.
