Pope Francis – a beloved Pope of the People

22/04/2025 


It is with deep sadness that the Order of Malta Hong Kong joins the global community in mourning  the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis on Easter Monday 21 April 2025. 

A beloved Pope of the people, His Holiness left us after long years of tireless service to the Church and to mankind.  His dedication to the forgotten and  his unceasing appeal for mercy were a beacon of light in a world too often cast in darkness.

We pray that his messsge of charity, unity and brotherhood will not be forgotten.

In the words of Fra’ John T. Dunlap

Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta

“The Order of Malta has always received the support and closeness of the Holy Father in its service to the sick and most vulnerable.   Today more than ever it is our duty to give thanks for his Pontificate and to pray that the Lord will grant him the reward promised to faithful servants.”
