Pope John Paul II: 1920-2005 | April 18, 2005

We, the international and interreligious community of the IRFWP join our Catholic brothers and sisters, and all people of conscience in the world, in mourning and in prayers for the safe and peaceful ascension of the Holy Father, John Paul II.

Pope John Paul II managed the staggering challenges of spiritual leadership with humility and courage, and provided a world in transition with great and much needed spiritual and moral influence.

May God bless him, and console his flock at this time.
