As the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis, we are reminded of his steadfast commitment to compassion, humility, and justice — values that lie at the heart of both the Easter message and our mission through Project Compassion.

Pope Francis called us to be "missionary disciples" — to be people who walk with the poor, speak for the voiceless, and unconditionally love. This Easter season, as we reflect on the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection, we are called to act — to embody the hope that Easter brings.

As our fundraising for Project Compassion 2025 draws to a close, we are reminded that our support for those in need, now and into the future, stands as a living testament to the world Pope Francis sought to build: one shaped by dignity, equality, and love. By supporting this and future appeals, we help ensure that his call to be Christ-like to others continues to shine brightly in communities throughout the world.

May this Easter season be a time of renewed commitment to justice and compassion.
