With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Pope Francis, a humble servant who led the Church with compassion and truth. As St. Augustine reminds us, 'Let us not grieve as those without hope, for our hearts rest in Him who is eternal.' May our Holy Father now behold the face of God, and may his soul rest in the peace of Christ, who he loved and served so well. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on December 17, 1936; Died of a stroke on April 21, 2025. He was the 266th Pope of the 1.3 billion members of the Roman Catholic Church and the first Pope from the America.
