VALE POPE FRANCIS 1936-2025

This past Monday, the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, passed away. We send our condolences and prayers to him as he begins his journey to heaven to sit with Jesus.

May he rest in God’s gracious and gentle peace.

Mary, Our Blessed Mother of God, pray for him.

St Francis of Assisi, pray for him.

All Holy Men and Women, Saints of God, pray for him.

Eternal rest grant unto Francis, O Lord.

And let the perpetual light shine upon him.
