STATEMENT FROM
Y’s Men International
On the Demise of His Holiness Pope Francis
Geneva, Switzerland | [21 April 2025 ]
Y’s Men International expresses its deepest sorrow and heartfelt condolences on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a towering moral and spiritual leader whose life was a shining example of humility, compassion, justice and commitment to humanity.
In a joint statement, International President Adv. A. Shanavaskhan and International Secretary General Jose Varghese said:
“The world has lost a true servant of peace. His Holiness Pope Francis stood for love without borders, inclusion without condition, and service without self. His voice echoed far beyond the walls of the Church – calling for justice, reconciliation, and care for the marginalised. His simplicity in living, courage in truth, and warmth in leadership touched lives across faiths and nations. He was, in every sense, a spiritual father to the world.”
Y’s Men International, joins the global Christian community and millions of admirers across the world in mourning this immense loss. The legacy of Pope Francis will endure in the hearts of all who work for peace, justice, and service to humanity.
