ARCHBISHOP THABO APPEALS FOR PRAYERS FOR POPE FRANCIS

"I ask all our churches across ACSA to join in prayer with people around the world as Pope Francis’ condition remains critical. It is a time also reflect on his incredible legacy, especially his closeness to those on the margins. Lungi and I met him many times and in this moment we feel a special closeness to the Pope." -- Archbishop Thabo Makgoba
