Pope Francis, Requiescat in pace

Published Friday 2 May 2025

This week has been one of remembrance and reflection with the passing of Pope Francis.

Pupils and staff of St Thomas More Language College gathered together to offer Mass in thanksgiving for the life and ministry of Pope Francis and to pray for his eternal rest.

At St Joseph's in Chelsea, the children have prayed for the Holy Father every day in class and we have prayed as staff and with our families.

In Maida Vale, the St Joseph's Pupil Chaplaincy Team visited classes to discuss ways in which we can keep honour the memory Pope Francis.

Pupils at St John XXIII attended Mass to celebrate the triumph of The Resurrection but also the life of our Pope, Francis.

This morning at The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, pupils in the First to Fourth Forms marked the passing of Pope Francis with a Requiem Mass.

Requiescat in pace.
