In Loving Memory

On April 21st, with deep sorrow and a heavy heart, we received the news of the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis. We mourn the loss of a holy and humble shepherd who served the Lord and His Church with unwavering devotion, compassion, and courage. His departure leaves a deep void in our hearts, yet his life remains a radiant example of love and humility in action.

Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis was a beacon of mercy, peace, and love. He reached out to the poor and the marginalized, advocated for the dignity of all people, and called the world to care for creation and one another. We remember him as a fatherly figure who radiated kindness, simplicity, and profound faith. Some members of our community were deeply blessed to have met him personally—an encounter we will carry in our hearts for the rest of our lives, touched forever by his warmth, simplicity, and holiness.

As we grieve this profound loss, we recognize with gratitude the gift of his life and the legacy of his virtues. We honor his faithful service to the Lord and the Church, and we continue praying for his eternal rest in peace. May the Lord welcome His devoted servant with open arms.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Amen
