the death of pope francisIt is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis.
The entire Diocese of Dallas joins the universal Church in mourning the loss of a shepherd who led us with humility, compassion, and unwavering faith.
After Holy Week and a joyful Easter Sunday, I found myself deeply moved to see our Holy Father, Pope Francis, for the last time in Saint Peter’s Square. It was striking—but not surprising —that even in his final days, he chose to be among God’s people. That was so much like him.
I am personally blessed by Pope Francis for the honor of his appointment of me as the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Dallas on December 13, 2016. His kindness, support, and trust in me have been a profound source of confidence. Through his decision, he entrusted me with the responsibility to serve the Church and the faithful of this Diocese in North Texas.
Pope Francis served as a true shepherd, a universal shepherd. He lived his ministry with humility, compassion, and a boundless care for every soul. His love reached across borders, cultures, and differences, always pointing us toward mercy, hope, and the joy of the Gospel, especially for the poor, the members of the immigrant community, and the marginalized. The Church has lost a remarkable leader, and the world, a powerful witness to Christ’s love.
I also want to ask you to join me in offering prayers for our dear friend, Cardinal Kevin Farrell— my predecessor in the Diocese of Dallas—who now faces the enormous responsibility of helping to guide the Church during this time of sede vacante. Those of us here in Dallas who know Cardinal Farrell surround him with our support and prayers as he carries this weighty task.
May the soul of Pope Francis rest in the eternal peace of Christ, the Good Shepherd whom he served so faithfully. And may the Holy Spirit continue guide the Church through these days.
