The Alliance to End Human Trafficking mourns the passing of Pope Francis, a tireless voice for human dignity, compassion, and justice.
“Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis stood with the most vulnerable, including migrants, the poor, the forgotten, and survivors of exploitation. He called the world to conscience, urging all people of faith and goodwill to confront indifference and respond with mercy,” said Katie Boller Gosewisch, Executive Director of the Alliance to End Human Trafficking.
“His unwavering commitment to end human trafficking inspired and guided our mission. He reminded us that every life has inherent dignity and that true peace begins where justice and love prevail,” she added.
We give thanks for his service and pray for his eternal rest. May his legacy continue to light the path for all who seek to build a more just and compassionate world.
We further join the global Catholic community and all people of goodwill in prayer during this time of mourning and transition, trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide the Church as it prepares to elect a new pope.
