Liverpool Hope University is saddened by the death of Pope Francis who spoke so often about peace and the need for tolerance and understanding. Our thoughts and prayers join with those of the global Roman Catholic community at this time.
Pope Francis: A message from the Vice Chancellor and Rector
“Pope Francis’ personal touch and a focus on synodality, bringing the voices of those marginalised by society to be heard, are fundamental ways of being which are also important to us at Liverpool Hope University.
Alongside care for others, Pope Francis championed care for creation, changing attitudes and
challenging leaders to think differently about global responsibilities.
Pope Francis also instilled a sense of hope, which is underpinned by the Catholic Church 2025
Jubilee theme Pilgrims of Hope, which can inspire us all whatever our beliefs.”
