Rest in Peace, Pope Francis
PRAYER FOR A DECEAED POPE
God, Who, in Your ineffable providence, did with that Your servant, Pope Francis, should be numbered among the high priests, grant, we beseech You, that he, who on earth held the place of Your only-begotten Son, may be joined forevermore to the fellowship of Your holy pontiffs.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reighs with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
We pray for the repose of Pope Francis's soul while giving thanks for the legacy he leaves behind him as the first pope from the Americas.
He strove to be a humble shepherd who led with compassion and unwavering faith. His dedication to the Gospel by always seeking to serve the poorest of the poor inspired millions, calling us to mercy, service, and deeper trust in Jesus Christ.
As we pray for his soul, let us also reflect on his legacy of hope and unity. May his words and witness continue to guide us on our journey of faith.
May the soul of Gorge Mario Bergoglio, our faithful Pope Francis, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
St. Francis, pray for us.

MISSION STATEMENT
We, the Catholics community of St. Mary's Parish, Grand Forks, North Dakota, declared that by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have been set free to live as a worshiping, ministering community which proclaims the Good News of Jesus.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we strive to be responsible witnesses to His presence among us, thus enriching the spiritual life of the community, creating a sense of obligation and passing along Christian values and traditions to our children. By being living sighs of God's love by being of service to one another and to the world, we reach out to spread Gospel values and bring God's kingdom to fulfillment.
