Communique | May 2025

Pope Francis greets an elderly woman as he meets with people of the Banado Norte neighborhood in the Chapel of St. John the Baptist in Asuncion, Paraguay, July 12, 2015. Pope Francis, formerly Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, died April 21, 2025, at age 88.

As the global Church mourns the loss of Pope Francis, we turn with confident hope to our Resurrected Lord. Let us journey together towards the communion of body and spirit that Jesus desires for us.
