image of Cardinal Prevost with women religious in Peru
Pope Leo XIV, then-Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, OSA, is pictured with Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth and representatives from other religious communities in August of 2024. Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth in Peru are identified as Hermanas de la Caridad de Leavenworth and use the initials HCL. From left to right are: Sister Ana Walsh, Franciscan Missionary of the Immaculate Conception; Sister Marilú Córdova Compoverde, Benedictine Sister; Cardinal Prevost; Hermana Clorinda Timaná Martinez, HCL; and Hermana Nery Lourdes Abad Pulache, HCL.

Several SCLs have happy recollections of now-Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Prevost, and before that “Father Bob.”
