Vice President Vance will lead the U.S. delegation to the inauguration mass of Pope Leo XIV in Vatican City on Sunday, his office announced Thursday.
The vice president will be joined by second lady Usha Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Rubio’s wife, Jeanette Rubio, for the first American pope’s inauguration.
Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019 and met with Pope Francis last month just before he died. He is the second Catholic vice president in U.S. history, following former President Biden, who later became the second Catholic president in U.S. history.
Leo, who was born in Dolton, Ill., was elected by cardinals last week in a historic moment for the church. He is an Augustinian friar who attended Villanova University and spent much of his adult life working in Peru, where he has a dual citizenship. Francis made him a cardinal in 2023.
