Please see the following message below from ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ President Walter Iwanenko, Ph.D.

Dear ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ Family, 

We join in sadness with the entire Catholic Church and with all people of good will upon hearing the news Monday of the passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis.  

He was a marvelous witness to the joy of the Gospel, in his words and in his deeds. His humility and courage have been an inspiration to so many of us, a true teacher and pastor. 

We will honor his memory in the coming days.

His passing in this Easter time renews us in our resurrection faith. May the Risen Christ call him home with the words: “well done, good and faithful servant!”

May he rest in peace, 

Dr. Walter Iwanenko
