Heartfelt Condolences

In Loving Memory of

His Holiness Pope Francis

(1936 – 2025)

With profound sorrow, we mourn the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a global beacon of peace, humility, and compassion.

His unwavering commitment to the poor, his voice for the voiceless, and his tireless efforts toward justice, mercy, and unity transcended borders and touched countless hearts around the world.

> "Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for the whole world, that there may be a great spirit of fraternity."

— Pope Francis

We extend our deepest condolences to the Catholic Church and to all humanity, whose lives were illuminated by his grace.
