Join us on Wednesday, October 7th at 6:30pm for an evening with NPR's Daniel Burke and Scott Detrow as they discuss their new book, American Pope: Leo XIV's Road from the South Side of Chicago to Vatican City.

Drawing on reporting from Peru, Chicago, and Rome, along with rare archival materials and interviews with those who know him best, Burke and Detrow trace Robert Prevost's journey from a working-class Chicago parish to becoming the first American pope in the Catholic Church's 2,000-year history.

This event is in-person and open to the public.
