For the humble, vulnerable and pastoral priest I met in Rome, Pope Francis. I'm sorry I will not see you again in this life, but with god's mercy I will meet you again in the next. Until then, be at peace. You are not gone, you are just not here now.

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis. You have been the voice of the voiceless, the champion of the poor.

May perpetual light shine upon you, just as you have shone on this world.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of long-term supporter and tireless fundraiser Edgar Riches in Kenya.

A kind and inspirational man, he will be sorely missed but his legacy will live on in his parish and with the communities he supported. May he rest in peace.
