Catholic Charities of Santa Clara helps people of all cultures and beliefs rise up out of poverty and overcome the barriers to self-sufficiency and wellness.
As we mourn the passing and reflect on the life and legacy of Pope Francis, we remember him as a powerful voice for compassion, justice, and mercy, especially when it comes to caring for the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized—Gospel values that align and inform our work at Catholic Charities.
A moving statement from him conveys the deeply human work that we do daily as part of our mission here in Santa Clara County.
“We must always consider the person. Here we are not dealing with numbers, but with persons. If we don’t start there, we will never take the right path.”— Pope Francis, on migrants and refugees, 2014
His words remind us that each individual has their own unique story that deserves to be met with compassion and dignity, no matter the politics or policy debates that surround them. In recognition of Pope Francis, please join me today as we stand in solidarity with all of our sisters and brothers in need, and offer them our prayers and our hope.
We also share the reflections from our own Bishop Cantú (Bishop Cantú's Statement English, Bishop Cantú's Statement Spanish) and Catholic Charities USA, who join in our sorrow and prayer.
