From a substitute teacher in Chicago to the Holy Father in Rome: What a journey! Our first pope born and raised in Chicago (and a Chicago White Sox fan) celebrates his 70th birthday on Sunday, and we are taking a look back, including this rare photo from his days as “Father Bob,” when he served as a sub at St. Rita High School.
Share your memories, old photos, or a birthday message in the comments to honor our hometown pope!Photo credit: St. Rita of Cascia High School
