On behalf of Chigwell Parish Council, we express our profound sorrow at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.

His leadership and commitment to peace, compassion, and social justice have left an indelible mark on the world and will be remembered for generations. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the Catholic Church and its members in the Parish, around the UK, and across the globe during this time of mourning. We stand in solidarity with those who mourn his loss and will continue to honour his legacy by working towards a more just and equitable world, as he so passionately advocated.
