Pope Leo XIV welcomed around 4,000 seminarians to the Vatican for a special Jubilee event, where he encouraged them to never settle for less, never be satisfied, but to be passionate about the priestly life, living in the present and looking to the future with a prophetic heart. Joining from Rome is Pepe Zinkewich, a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Pepe shares his experience at the Jubilee of Seminarians, reflects on meeting the Holy Father, and discusses his personal journey to the priesthood. He also talks about the "Rome Experience" program he is participating in and what he hopes to bring back to his parish, diocese, and fellow seminarians.

This is the latest news on Pope Leo XIV.
