Pope Leo XIV’s brother shared more about family history and how his grandparents immigrated to the United States.
John Prevost said to Whitney Wild, from CNN that his father’s parents “came by boat” as orphans, without specifying where they were. There are not many records documenting the lineage from this side of the family, he reported.
His mother’s parents came from Haiti to the United States, according to PREVOST. They originally settled in New Orleans before moving to Chicago, where their mother was born.
PREVOST said your parents didn’t talk much about why their parents came to the US as they grew up. They met at Depaul University in Chicago, he said.
“I know my mother was raised by her sister because, at the time, her parents had already died, so she didn’t have many stories to tell,” he said.
Still, Prevost said that as he grew up, the house was full of his mother’s music and culinary talents – something that Pope Leo XIV also shares “when he has the opportunity” to be in the kitchen.
The new Pope, the first pontiff of the United States, faces turbulence times in both church and in the country. His attitude towards migrants, in particular, can put Leo XIV in disagreement with President Donald Trump.
John Prevost said prior to the affiliate of CNN WBBM, that his brother “sees the United States walking in the wrong direction in terms of immigration.”
