VIC Premier
Across Victoria, and around the world, Catholics are united as they mourn the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome.
Pope Francis was a leader of the Church, and a leader of the world.
He was a tireless advocate for the poor. A relentless voice for the marginalised.
He believed that caring for the sick was part of the Church's essential mission - and that compassion for the vulnerable was core to the human condition.
He shared a message of peace, courage, and humility.
A message that has never mattered more.
I offer my sincere condolences to Catholic communities across Victoria as they grieve his profound loss.
May he rest in eternal peace.
