Welcome our new Pope Leo XIV we pray for you ,Congratulations Pope Leo God Bless you .

Bishop Fintan Gavin welcomes the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost OSA as our new pope.

Cardinal Prevost has taken the name Pope Leo XIV and his election comes on day two of the Conclave in Rome where 133 cardinal electors were gathered in the Sistine Chapel.

Bishop Fintan Gavin also extends his congratulations to the community of Augustinian Friars in Cork as the new pope belongs to the worldwide Augustinian family which is one of the oldest religious orders of the Catholic Church.

“It’s very encouraging to hear the key points made by the Holy Father in his first remarks. He emphasised the need for unity and peace in the world and in the Church.”

“Pope Leo also has a connection with Cork and Ross Diocese because until last year he was a bishop in Peru. Many of the priests and religious sisters in our diocese have also spent time as missionaries in Peru.”

The choice of name which the new pope has taken also tells us something of his emphasis in faith, Bishop Fintan said.

“Pope Leo XIII, the last pope to take the name Leo, issued an important document in 1891 on the social teaching of the Church. And this new pope is someone who has ministered among the poor in Peru.”

I invite the people of our diocese to pray for Pope Leo as he becomes our chief shepherd and guides us closer to the Risen Lord.”

Following the announcement by the Holy See that Pope Francis has ‘returned to the House of the Lord’, Bishop Fintan Gavin invites the people of the Diocese of Cork and Ross to unite in prayer to God at this time.
“I invite the parishioners, priests, deacons and religious of our diocese to join as one with the faithful across the globe as we commend Pope Francis to the Lord.
We give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of Pope Francis as shepherd of the people of God and we thank God for his selfless service and dedication to the end of his earthly life.
We remember Pope Francis as one who challenged us to reach out to those on the margins and to bring God’s mercy to all those we encounter.
We pray together that Pope Francis’ call to all of us to make this Jubilee Year a Year of Hope may be fulfilled.
In what was to be his last pastoral message to the faithful on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis said:
‘All those who put their hope in God place their feeble hands in his strong and mighty hand; they let themselves be raised up and set out on a journey. Together with the risen Jesus, they become pilgrims of hope, witnesses of the victory of love and of the disarmed power of Life.’
We pray together now that Pope Francis prayer will be answered and that his soul may be in eternal peace with God.“
