OJAI, Calif. (KEYT) — Villanova Prep in Ojai has a special connection to Pope Leo XIV.

Fr. Barnaby Johns welcomed him to campus in 2011, long before he became Pope.

During Fr. Johns’ recent three-week trip to Rome, he met with Pope Leo again while attending the 188th General Chapter, where members of the Augustinian Order reflect on their past and plan for the future.

“It was a remarkable experience for me to be there, particularly at this time when we had these two encounters with Pope Leo. He came to celebrate the opening Mass for our chapter,” said Fr. Barnaby Johns.

They also had the chance to sing “Happy Birthday” the day after Pope Leo’s 70th birthday.

“It was very delightful to be there,” he added.

Fr. Barnaby called it a meaningful experience and said he believes Pope Leo is a bridge builder in a divided world — someone who will play a key role in bringing people together.

Pope Leo was born in Chicago and attended Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – Leo, the tiny yellow-belly slider turtle, who usually greets Hook & Press customers and passerbys in a nearby fountain went missing for a brief period of time on Sunday afternoon, but he has since been returned to his rightful spot.

Hook & Press owner, John Burnett, tells your News Channel that staff feed Leo and fish inside the fountain everyday. When a closing manager noticed Leo didn’t pop out for his morning feeding, the team decided to check surveillance footage.

Video shows a group of four individuals, along with a child in a stroller, walking through La Arcada Plaza when one woman in a green shirt starts to approach the fountain.

All four individuals take turns looking inside when the woman in green can be seen picking up the turtle and walking away with it.

“I think she really knew he was someone’s pet, and she took him anyways. We’ve all grown to love him, ya know?” Burnett says. “I know to some people it might just be a turtle, but for us he’s like part of the family here at Hook & Press.”

The donut shop posted the video online in hopes of drawing attention to the situation and getting Leo back home, and luckily, it worked.

Leo is was returned to his Hook & Press fountain Friday afternoon.

Anyone can go and visit Leo – but not touch – at Hook and Press Donut Shop at  15 E Figueroa St in Santa Barbara.
