Welcoming Pope Leo XIV

With grateful hearts, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace welcome the newly elected Pope Leo XIV. We are delighted that his first words as Pope were, “Peace be with all of you!.” Likewise, our hearts are warmed by his choice of name.

Remember in Prayer - Pope Francis

We give thanks for the life of Pope Francis, a true man of peace who passed away this morning on Easter Monday in Rome. He had a deep love for the Church, the people of God, and Earth our common home. Pope Francis reached out across human divides, called us to care for creation, and built paths to peace. We were indeed blessed with his leadership these 12 years.
