Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, joined by their wives, Second Lady Usha Vance and Jeannette Rubio, will lead a U.S. delegation to the Vatican on May 18 for the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV, according to a statement from the White House.
Officials noted the significance of the event, as Leo XIV is the first American-born pontiff in the 2,000-year history of the Roman Catholic Church.
