“The Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province of Priests and Brothers, joins all of Holy Cross and the Church around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. We pray for the repose of his soul and ask God to grant him eternal rest, light, and peace. His tireless advocacy for worker justice, his emphasis on strengthening family life, his deep care for creation, his concern for the vulnerable – the unborn, the migrant, the poor, and victims of war – all call us to walk more closely with the Resurrected Christ that we proclaim this Easter! Pope Francis was truly a great bridge builder, Pontificus Maximus. May he now rest in Peace.”
~ Provincial Superior Rev. William M. Lies, C.S.C.
