SIGN UP In St. Peter's Square, a group was seen holding a banner with Texas written on it in large letters. The banner said, "Peter, confirm your brothers!" Texas Neocatechumenal Way."
More than 50 pilgrims from Houston were in the square, too, waving three large American flags. They were in Rome on a pre-planned Holy Year pilgrimage and said they were proud to be part of this historic occasion.
Leo was delivering his first Sunday service since being elected pope last week and said he considered it a gift from God that his first Sunday was the fourth Sunday of Easter.
Leo also noted that Sunday was Mother’s Day in many countries and wished all mothers, “including those in heaven,” a Happy Mother’s Day.
