Book of Condolence for Pope Francis

I was very saddened by the passing of Pope Francis on Easter Monday.

Pope Francis championed the cause of social justice, advocated for the poor and displaced, and reminded us all of the profound responsibility we share to care for one another and our common home. He was also a strong advocate for inter-faith dialogue and the building of bridges between different faiths.

As Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, I extend my heartfelt condolences to our Catholic community locally and across the world. May we reflect on his time as Pope and be inspired to carry forward his message of inclusion, peace and hope.

Pope Francis was admired and respected for his commitment to serving the poor and championing the causes of the oppressed. With gentle strength and profound wisdom, he broke down walls and built bridges — between faiths, between nations, and between people.

Rip pope Francis 🕊️
 

Pope Francis was a voice for compassion, social justice and environmental justice in the world. He embodied Christs love in his ministry. May he rest in peace. 

Pope Francis championed the poor & marginalised, including refugees. He led on climate action and in his final address called for peace in Gaza. A true leader of justice, compassion & humility.  Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal agus go mbeidh Proinsias i bhFlaithis. 
 

Rest in Peace Pope Francis

R.I.P to our beloved pope Francis. Now back in the arms of our lord. 

He was a humble man who led by example. Like all of us, he was a sinner who made mistakes… who hasn’t! But he lived  his life trying to make a difference and make this world a better place. Reading some of the sad and offensive posts over the past 24 hours shows us how much we need to learn when it comes to treating one another with dignity and compassion. Pope Francis embodied these ideals throughout his life. RIP Papa. ❤️
