Pope Francis
Fr. Rob's Message
Dear Friends,
At 9:45 AM (Rome Time, April 21, 2025) , Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:
"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."
Pope Francis was a beacon of light for our Church. His love for the poor, kindness and humility inspired Catholics throughout the world. He embodied his namesake, St. Francis, by always preaching the Gospel, using words only when necessary. May he rest in peace in the arms of the God he so loves.
Easter Blessings to all,
Fr. Rob
