He joins a handful of past popes whose visits to the sanctuary were commemorated with portraits that adorn its walls, going back to Pope Urban VIII in 1630.<\/p>\n<p>Leo visited the sanctuary on May 10, 2025, just two days after his election and in his first outing as pope. The former Robert Prevost had been there many times before, since the place has special significance for the pope&#8217;s Augustinian religious order.<\/p>\n<p>The sanctuary is managed by Augustinian friars and has been a place of pilgrimage since the 15th century. Leo&#8217;s namesake, Pope Leo XIII, elevated it to a minor basilica and expanded the adjacent convent in the early 1900s.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/09\/07\/202832d8-c879-4db2-9cb5-b69b2baca3b0\/thumbnail\/620x414\/2c2698e20892afd53ccd149455ea0a1c\/ap26250567904060.jpg#\" alt=\"Italy Pope \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/09\/07\/202832d8-c879-4db2-9cb5-b69b2baca3b0\/thumbnail\/620x414\/2c2698e20892afd53ccd149455ea0a1c\/ap26250567904060.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/09\/07\/202832d8-c879-4db2-9cb5-b69b2baca3b0\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/51599807d790826e35eddd94588c7f18\/ap26250567904060.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Pope Leo XIV receives a box with butterflies as he arrives at the Basilica Sanctuary of the Mother of Good Counsel in Genazzano, central Italy, Monday, Sept. 7, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                AP Photo\/Andrew Medichini<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Leo referred to that 2025 outing during his homily at the basilica on Monday, which commemorates the birth of Mary.
