Robert Francis Prevost, recently appointed as Pope Leo XIV, boasts a notable educational background that has shaped his leadership within the Vatican. He is an alumnus of Villanova University, a prestigious institution known for its commitment to academic excellence and its strong emphasis on values rooted in the Catholic tradition.
Before attending Villanova, Prevost completed his secondary education at St. Augustine Seminary High School. This institution is recognized for its dedication to fostering spiritual growth and academic achievement among its students, particularly those pursuing vocations within the Church.
