Remembering Pope Francis

Click here to see a web copy of this email

As we mourn the passing of Pope Francis, we reflect on his life and legacy — a legacy of compassion, humility, and a tireless commitment to the poor and marginalised. His papacy touched the hearts of millions around the world, transcending borders and inspiring people of all faiths and none.

“At this time of great sadness as we mourn the loss of our Holy Father, I join with you and all of us at ACN (UK) in giving thanks for the life, faith and witness of Pope Francis. We pray for the repose of his soul. May he be welcomed into the arms of his loving and merciful Father whom he has served so faithfully.”

Caroline Hull, ACN (UK) National Director

Everyone here at ACN UK and our sister offices around the world is saddened by the passing of Pope Francis, not only as a supporter of our work but also a friend. As a small tribute we have shared some memories of him and ACN in a gallery which you can view here.

Regina Lynch, Executive President of ACN (International), said:

“ACN mourns a messenger of dialogue, encounter and mercy. May God reward him for his faithful service. We will continue the mission of Pope Francis, who on his travels often put the ‘people of the margins’ in the centre, and as a pontifical foundation we make ourselves available to the future Holy Father, as we have done since the beginning of our work.”

Please join us in prayer for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis.
