Today we begin a special four-part series examining Pope Leo XIV's historic first apostolic journey to Africa. From Algeria to Angola, Cameroon to Equatorial Guinea, a ten-day visit this April that takes him from the ancient footsteps of Saint Augustine to the heart of a continent where the faith is young, vibrant, and growing.

In this first episode: The Augustinian Pope Returns Home: Ancient Roots, Modern Hope.

To guide us through this series, we are deeply honored to welcome a theologian who has devoted his life to the intersection of African culture and Catholic faith. Fr. Stan Chu Ilo joins us from Chicago. He is the Coordinating Servant of the Pan-African Catholic Theology and Pastoral Network (PACTPAN), a professor, and the author of numerous works on African Catholicism and World Christianity.
