Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We are deeply saddened to announce our Holy Father Pope Francis has passed away on Monday, 7:35am, April 21, 2025 in Vatican City.

Our Vicar of Christ has been a model of mercy and compassion. He was a champion of unity and hope, not just for Catholics, but for the world, especially the weak, the marginalised, and the poor.

Pope Francis' constant call for inclusivity gave the world a Church that welcomed all, especially those who yearned for love, mercy, and hope. His actions inspired the faithful to be the face of Christ to others and reach out to those on the fringes of society.

His earthly life was full of fervour for Christ's mission till the end, living out the words of his encyclical "Dilexit Nos" (He loved us) exuding love and serving with joy.

We thank the Lord for His gift of Pope Francis and his service on earth. Let us pray for the repose of his soul as we commend him into the embrace of our Heavenly Father.

May God grant him eternal rest and the reward of eternal life with the saints in heaven.
