Brooklyn joined the global community in mourning the death of Pope Francis on April 21, at age 88. Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced his passing, recognizing his devoted service to the Church. Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan honored the Pope during a Mass, highlighting his humility and dedication to improving the lives of the poor and advocating for environmental issues over his 12-year papacy. Many local churches offered prayers for his soul while reflecting on the community's united response in gratitude for his impactful ministry.
Throughout his historic papacy, Pope Francis served as the leader of the Catholic Church with great humility. The first Pope from South America and the first Jesuit pope, Pope Francis will always be remembered for his profound respect for the dignity of all people.
In this time of mourning, we are united as one Church in prayer and gratitude for his life and faithful ministry. We invite all parishioners to remember Pope Francis in your prayers.
