A new four-hour bus tour will visit Pope Leo XIV’s birthplace, childhood church and favorite pizza spot in the Chicago area. Tickets start at $59.

A village in Chicago’s south suburbs is poised to purchase Pope Leo XIV’s childhood home after its board voted unanimously on Tuesday to take control of the property.

Officials in Dolton, Ill., called the purchase a rare opportunity. But some residents questioned whether the village, grappling with a deficit and potholes, could afford it.
