THE DEATH OF POPE FRANCIS

It is with deep sadness that we have received the news of the death of Pope Francis. There is a poignant beauty in the fact that his passing occurred on the Monday of the Octave of Easter—a time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope it offers for the resurrection of all believers. It is also moving that he was able to offer a brief Easter blessing to the city of Rome and to the world on Easter Sunday, just before his death.
Pope Francis has been an inspiration to all Christians, to people of other faiths, and to those of no faith. He will be especially remembered for his call for a more mission-focused Church, his unwavering concern for the poor and marginalised, and his passionate advocacy for the care of our common home—the environment.
Our parish will celebrate a Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis on Wednesday, 7th May at 7:30 pm.
We warmly invite all parishioners to join us for this important and prayerful moment.
PRAYER FOR THE LATE POPE
O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that your departed servant Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may happily enjoy for ever in your presence in heaven the mysteries of your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
