Pope Francis 1936 – 2025

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.

This morning our country and truly the world awoke to the sad news of the passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. We give thanks for his life which he dedicated to the service of God and the Church and demonstrated to the world through his love and compassion for humanity and especially the most vulnerable. We invite you to read the official statement from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on the passing of our Holy Father.

May our Holy Father Rest in Eternal Peace.

Michael Bellmore
President
