Pope Francis 1936 - 2025
May he rest in peace.
As a Catholic family, we bid farewell to Pope Francis, commending his soul with much gratitude to the mercy of the Lord.
O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that your departed servant Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may happily enjoy for ever in your presence in heaven the mysteries of your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen
As a school community we will celebrate Pope Francis’s life and ministry over the coming days, through worship and discussions. Teachers will be sharing with children PowerPoints and prayers as we reflect on the life of Pope Francis and his wishes for all of us as followers of Christ.
Please see PowerPoint presentations being shared with the children, reflecting on the life and passing of Pope Francis.
