On June 4, a photo of Pope Leo XIV signing a baseball during his Wednesday morning audience in Rome started to go viral. The image of the Holy Father using a Sharpie marker to sign the iconic symbol of American sports appeared on Vatican News sites, The Pillar, and personal social media accounts.
While the photo caught people’s attention, the story behind it left six seminarians from Detroit’s Sacred Heart Major Seminary feeling stunned by God’s providence and bonded to their Holy Father.
