Pope Francis

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the archbishop of Buenos Aires (Argentina), was elected to shepherd the global Catholic Church on March 13, 2013. His pontificate is marked by missionary dynamism and creative fidelity. Pope Francis challenges, inspires, and renews the People of God so that we may become credible witnesses of the risen Christ, whose ministry of healing, peace and liberation we are called to carry out in the present day.
