Requiescat in pace
It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Pope Francis this morning at 7:35. A shepherd of compassion and courage, his tireless advocacy for the dignity of every person—especially the most vulnerable—marked a turning point in the life of the Church.
May the Lord grant him eternal rest.

The Commission’s Pilgrimage of Reparation and Hope, passing through the Holy Door at St. Peter’s—a powerful gesture of commitment to healing and accountability.
This pilgrimage was not just symbolic, it was a sign of resolve: to confront the past, and to build a future where safeguarding is lived, not just spoken.

A Pilgrimage of Reparation and Hope
On the eve of Holy Week, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors embarked on a Pilgrimage of Reparation and Hope. This journey symbolizes our unwavering commitment to healing, justice, and safeguarding within the Church.
We each carried with us a small clay house. This symbol manifests our commitment to make our Church a safe place for our children, adolescents and vulnerable people. It also reminds us that hope never disappoints, especially when it is grounded in the certainty that nothing and no one can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ.

Reparation In Action
Reparation is more than just financial, it’s relational, spiritual, structural and personal.
The 2024 PCPM Report calls the Church to repair trust through action:
• Acknowledging harm
• Reforming systems
• Walking with survivors in justice and healing
Reparation means creating spaces where wounds are seen, and healing becomes possible.
