🌿 A call to prayer

With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88. His 12-year papacy was marked by humility, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the marginalized. As the first Latin American and Jesuit pope, he brought a transformative vision to the Catholic Church, emphasizing mercy and inclusivity.​

Let us unite in prayer:

Heavenly Father,  We entrust to You our beloved Pope Francis, Your faithful servant and shepherd. Grant him eternal rest in Your loving embrace, and may his soul rejoice in the glory of Your presence. We thank You for his life of service, his unwavering dedication to the poor and marginalized, and his efforts to bring compassion and reform to Your Church. May his legacy inspire us to live with humility, love, and a deep commitment to justice. Comfort all who mourn his passing, and guide the Church during this time of transition. May we continue to walk in the path he illuminated, bringing Your light to the world. Amen.

Join us for a time of prayer, service and reflection on the life and legacy of Pope Francis:

 🕊 Sunday, April 27 |  9:45–10:15AM (held between Masses)

• Special time of prayer (Chapel)
• Assemble May Day Baskets (Room 5)
