Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural mass will take place on Sunday May 18 at 4AM ET (10AM Rome time)  in St. Peter’s Basilica and is a solemn ceremony steeped in ritual and symbolism in a direct tribute to the first Pope of Rome, the Apostle Peter. The Petrine Ministry will begin in the Basilica with the new pontiff descending to the chapel of the Tomb of Saint Peter, where Pope Leo will first pause for prayer and then incense the site – signifying the direct link of the pope to the apostle.
