Dolton Board Approves Pope Leo XIV Home Purchase
The Dolton Village Board in Illinois has unanimously approved the purchase of Pope Leo XIV's childhood home, securing the property ahead of its scheduled auction. Officials plan to transform the former Prevost family residence into a museum or pilgrimage site to attract visitors and stimulate economic growth. Mayor Jason House described the initiative as a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' expected to bring state and federal funding to Dolton. While officials hope the project will revitalize the economically struggling town, some residents have raised concerns about Dolton's ongoing financial problems and whether the village can afford the acquisition and maintenance. The final sale price has not been disclosed but was reported to be below the auction reserve. The village is moving forward with the project despite controversy and recent allegations of political mismanagement.
