Glorious Exit of an Icon: Honoring the Life and Legacy of Pope Francis

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis, a beacon of hope, compassion, and spiritual leadership whose impact transcended borders and denominations. His life was a testament to humility, peace, and unwavering dedication to the service of humanity and the Gospel.

The Cardinal Onaiyekan Foundation for Peace (COFP) joins the rest of the world in mourning this profound loss. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Catholic Church and the global community on the passing of Pope Francis. His journey on earth was one marked by love, wisdom, and an unyielding call for unity and justice.

As we reflect on his immense contributions to global peace and spiritual renewal, we pray that his legacy of compassion, peace, and spiritual guidance continues to inspire generations. May the Lord grant him eternal rest and peace.

“May his legacy of compassion, peace, and spiritual guidance continue to inspire us. May the Lord grant him eternal rest and peace.”
