🕊️ We mourn the passing of Pope Francis—a humble shepherd, a voice for peace, and a tireless witness to the love of Christ. In gratitude for his life and leadership, prayer focuses have been set up in churches of our Diocese, inviting all to pause, reflect, and pray.

In his final Easter message, Pope Francis reminded us of the hope we carry: “Jesus is not here, he has risen” (Lk 24:5). Love has triumphed. Light has overcome darkness.

As Pilgrims of Hope, we carry his message forward. Even in grief, we do not lose heart. The tomb is empty—and Christ is alive.
