Youth filled the pews at Blessed Sacrament Church in Cypress Hills for a Mass to honor the late pontiff, celebrated by Bishop Robert Brennan.
The memorial service was organized by the Diocese’s Jornada Movement, a Hispanic ministry that brings teens and adults together for retreats and faith-building reflections that go on to define their lives.
During his homily, Bishop Brennan reflected on Pope Francis’ deep connection with young people, sharing words of encouragement from the Holy Father himself.
Bishop Brennan also read from a letter penned by Pope Francis, where the late pontiff told young people to keep up their momentum in the Church.
