Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, the Vatican confirmed, a day after delivering his Easter message at St. Peter's Square.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the pontiff's passing, stating, "At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father." He praised Pope Francis's dedication to serving the Church and advocating for the poor and marginalized.
Pope Francis died at his Vatican residence, Casa Santa Marta, on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, following recent health challenges.
His passing occurred after he greeted crowds from St. Peter's Basilica on Easter Sunday, despite ongoing health issues that had caused cancellations of public appearances.
Pope Francis became pontiff in 2013, following Pope Benedict XVI's resignation, becoming the first Jesuit and the first pope from the Americas. His papacy was defined by humility, compassion, and a focus on social justice.
