MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE ON THE PASSING OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
Today, with hearts weighed down in sorrow yet uplifted in faith, we mourn the
passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was a true shepherd of the faithful
and a tireless advocate for peace, compassion, and unity. His life was a living
testament to the love of Christ. He broke barriers and bridged divides, becoming
a symbol of hope not just for Catholics but for people of all faiths and
backgrounds across the world.
His papacy was marked by a sincere and unwavering commitment to promoting
global peace and interfaith dialogue. Through initiatives like his historic

Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis championed the cause of environmental justice,
social equality, and universal brotherhood. He courageously called upon world
leaders to act with mercy and wisdom.
