Pope Francis (1936-2025)
Bishop Hicks Statement on the Passing of Pope Francis
As we mourn the loss of our Holy Father, let us come together in prayer, remembering that he has passed during this Jubilee Year of Hope. A few years ago, in one of his many memorable homilies, Pope Francis boldly preached, “Christ is risen and with Him rises our creative hope, a hope that encourages us to start anew.”
