Pope Francis 

1936 – 2025

Everyone in our community at St. Hugh’s Catholic Primary School is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis. As our Holy Father and a beloved leader of the Catholic Church, he inspired millions around the world with his kindness, humility, and message of love and peace. We give thanks for his life and faithful service to God, and we keep him in our prayers. May he rest in eternal peace.
