With hearts full of gratitude and joy, we celebrate the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. We give thanks to the Holy Spirit for guiding the Church in this sacred moment and for blessing us with a shepherd to lead us in faith, hope, and love.
We renew our commitment to serve the Church and the poor with renewed zeal under the leadership of our new pope. His deep faith, pastoral heart, and vision for the Church inspire us to walk more closely with Christ and with one another on the path of justice, mercy, and missionary discipleship.
We pray that the Lord may grant Pope Leo XIV strength, wisdom, and peace as he takes up the mantle of Saint Peter, and that Our Blessed Mother may intercede for him each day of his pontificate.
God Bless,
St. Joseph’s Church, Colwyn Bay
