International March of the Living warmly greets the news of Cardinal Robert Prevost being selected to serve as the next Pope, the first American pope to assume this position.

We trust that Pope Leo XIV will continue the holy work of his predecessor, Pope Francis, who exemplified the values of compassion, humility and commitment to justice.

As International March of the Living continues with its commitment to fighting antisemitism and hatred and to promoting interfaith dialogue, we look forward to working together with the Holy See on implementing these noble ideals.

We extend our heartfelt wishes for courage, kindness and wisdom as the Supreme Pontiff assumes his new role.
