From the Jesuit Provincial: Memorial Mass for Pope Francis
22 Apr 2025 | Office of the Provincial, Philippine Province, Society of Jesus
22 April 2025
TO THE WHOLE PROVINCE
As we mourn the loss of Pope Francis, shepherd of the people of God and our brother Jesuit, we thank the Lord for the wonderful gift of the holy witness, service and leadership of Pope Francis for the Church and the world. Inspired by his example, we beg the Lord for the grace to fulfill our mission with even greater zeal, courage, and humility.
We will celebrate a Memorial Mass for Pope Francis at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, 25 April, at the Church of the Gesù, Ateneo de Manila University, Loyola Heights, Quezon City.
The usual suffrages are requested for Pope Francis: all Jesuits should offer for him one Mass first intention (see Phil. Prov. Jesuit Ordo, pp. v-vi).
May the Risen Lord welcome his faithful Servant to his heavenly home. Requiescat in pace.
Fraternally in Our Lord,
(Sgd) Xavier L Olin SJ
Provincial
