We extend our sincere condolences to the brothers and sisters from the Roman Catholic Church because of Pope Francis’ death.

Pope Francis was devoted to the Lord in ministry throughout his life. Our Church’s representatives had some blessed opportunities to meet with him personally. Among them – bishop Arri Kugappi, rector of the Theological Institute pastor Kostantin Subbotin, and pastor Olav Panchu. It is for this reason it’s a great loss for us as well. It hurts personally a lot of people all around the world.

May Christ, the Head of the Church, grant you a pope who would preach the Gospel in every part of the world. As for us, we are always open for collaboration with you.

Et lux perpetua luceat ei.
