Not who becomes the pope, but what NAME he’ll take!
Will the NEW Pope pick a name from the previous 266 or choose a name never used before? Will it be a Pope Eugene IV? Or Pope Sergius II? Or perhaps a NEW name that has never been used before!
ENTER your guess below for a chance to WIN a Vatican Papal Blessing Parchment!
But don’t worry–every person who enters a guess will receive 2 FREE Gifts:
- A prayer card of the NEW Pope,
- A prayer card of SAINT Carlo Acutis (once he is canonized by the NEW Pope)!
I entered Leo XIV. Will I be notified of being a winner at some point? Or, will I know I won in a few months when the apostolic blessing arrives via mail? Will you be sharing how many people guessed the name correctly?
Hi Barbara! We will be alerting winners this week with an expected timeline for the papal blessing.
Hi Clara! Any word on emails and shipping times? I don’t mean to sound impatient, but my daughter asked me about it today! We both guessed Leo XIV! 🙂
I guessed just “Leo”…. does that still count?
Hi there! The correct papal name is “Leo XIV”. Every entry receives 2 free prayer cards–we will be in contact shortly with the estimated shipping times!
Darn, I was really excited about that Papal blessing! 🙁
You can request a papal blessing via the Vatican website here: https://www.vaticano.com/en/how-to-request-the-apostolic-blessing-of-the-pope/
I guessed, “Leo” last week when I first saw the contest. When do winners hear from you?
Hi Denise! Anyone who guessed “Leo XIV” is correct. We will be alerting winners in the coming months once the Vatican makes the Papal Blessings available from Pope Leo XIV.
I guessed it like an hour before the announcement! Hope you got my submission in time.
