In a time of sorrow and reflection, our hearts turn to God. Almost half a million people stood in St. Peter’s Square on April 26 to mourn the passing of Pope Francis. One of our Friars, Fr. Jim Loughran, SA, was there, and he shared a message of hope, gratitude, and faith with NBC’s Anne Thompson. “Pope Francis was an example to me of gentleness, kindness, invitation, and hospitality….He was an example to me of a Good Shepherd.” Fr. Jim is the first interviewed in the segment, and he speaks from the heart in this moving tribute.

Join us in prayer and remembrance as we honor a shepherd who led us closer to Christ.
