St. Patrick's - St. Joseph's Catholic Church

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis, a leader whose profound impact on the world will be remembered for generations. Serving as the head of the Roman Catholic Church for the past 12 years, he was a beacon of hope, compassion, and humility, guiding millions with his gentle spirit and unwavering faith.

As a mark of respect and mourning the Vatican flag will be adorned with a black ribbon, a symbol of deep sorrow felt by millions around the world.
