Following the election of Pope Leo XIV, civic leaders, including NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, expressed their congratulations and hopes for his papacy. Williams emphasized the need for the new pope to lead with humility and a strong focus on charity and inclusion. He articulated the importance of faith driving real progress and justice, urging that the mission originating from St. Peter's Square inspire meaningful works across communities globally, particularly in New York City.
I offer congratulations and wish good luck to Pope Leo XIV, the first pope coming from America, as he leads the global Catholic community into a new era.
May the mission that moves forward from St. Peter's Square today be one of progress and purpose, and may faith inspire works of mercy and justice in New York City, in our country, and our world.
