Book of Condolence

It is with profound sorrow that I, as Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, extend my deepest condolences on the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis.

Pope Francis was a spiritual leader who embodied compassion, humility and courage.  Throughout his papacy, he championed the causes of the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed.  He reminded us all of the power of mercy, kindness and inclusion in a world too often divided.

As the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, Armagh shares in the deep mourning felt by millions across this island and around the world.  The legacy of Pope Francis will endure through his teachings, his example and the love he inspired.
