With deep sorrow, St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore mourns the passing of Pope Francis. His life was a beacon for compassion, humility, and inclusiveness—a leader not only for the Church, but for all of humanity. At this time of mourning, we also joyfully honor his enduring legacy. Pope Francis had a profound love for the poor, the suffering, and the marginalized. He challenged and inspired us all to build a more just, compassionate, and loving world. His enduring light lives on in the hearts of many, and will continue to guide and motivate us in our work serving others.
