The priests and deacons of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy (USA) congratulate the election of our fellow American, Pope Leo XIV (formerly Robert Cardinal Prevost) as the 266^th Successor of Saint Peter and 267^th Bishop of Rome. AD MULTOS ANNOS.

We pledge our filial support to the new Roman Pontiff and prayerfully ask that Our Lady, Queen of the Clergy and Mother of the Church watch over him throughout his papacy. God grant him many years.

It is worth noting that one of our founding members of the CCC was the late Fr. Dudley Day, OSA, also an Augustinian, who served in Chicago and the Institute for Religious Life.
