In Memory of Pope Francis

Welcome > News > In Memory of Pope Francis
Posted on April 21, 2025

We join with Christians across the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis.

Dean Sue reflects:
“The Catholic Church and Christians across the world have lost an inspirational leader in Pope Francis. His calls for justice and focus on the least in society is something that chimed strongly with all of us in Liverpool. His teaching and pastoral care will have a long-lasting impact. The prayers of us at Liverpool Cathedral are with Monsignor Tony O’Brien and all those at the Metropolitan Cathedral as they mourn the loss of the Holy Father.”

In remembrance of Pope Francis, a special prayer station has been set up in the Lady Chapel at Liverpool Cathedral.

We invite all who wish to reflect, give thanks for his life and leadership.
