With the Universal Church, we mourn the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, the 266th successor of Saint Peter. We give thanks to God for the blessings of his pontificate—marked by compassion, humility, and a tireless call to mercy.
“We are to reflect Easter in our lives and become messengers of hope, builders of hope, even as so many winds of death still buffet us.” — Pope Francis, Easter 2025
May he share in Christ’s Resurrection and eternal rest.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
