In our Sanctuary

TOMORROW, Tuesday April 22, 5:30pm, in the church, we will hold a one-hour Prayer Vigil for the Repose of the Soul of Pope Francis. It will consist of Scripture, a brief reflection, bilingual Rosary, and two hymns.

Please join us as we commend our beloved Holy Father Francis to God.

At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:

"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."
