Pope Leo XIV took his first trip outside the Vatican on Saturday, heading about an hour's drive east of Rome for a visit to a Catholic shrine and stopping on the way back to pay respects at the tomb of his predecessor Francis.

Pope Leo XIV has met with members of his Augustinian religious order during a visit to the congregation’s headquarters outside St. Peter’s Square.

The sanctuary is run by the religious of the Order of St. Augustine and “houses an ancient image of the Virgin, dear to the order and to the memory of Leo XIII.”
