His Eminence Cardinal Blase Cupich was received in a private audience by Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican this morning, 9 October.
The Holy See Press Office confirmed that the meeting took place together with a delegation of labour leaders from Chicago, who were in Rome on pilgrimage for the Jubilee Year of Hope.
The audience was held in the Apostolic Palace and formed part of a series of encounters the Pope has held with American Catholic NGOs and charities this week. During the meeting, the Holy Father praised the unions of Chicago for their efforts to promote the dignity of workers and to train new generations with skills that serve both industry and society.
