Massachusetts Leaders Reflect on Pope Francis's Death

Catholic communities across Massachusetts are mourning the death of Pope Francis and reflecting on his legacy of service and compassion.

Governor Maura Healey and Rep. Jim McGovern were among those who praised his commitment to justice, the poor, and global unity.

Archbishop Richard Henning of Boston noted the pope's lasting influence on Catholicism across the state.

As the Vatican prepares to select a new pope, many on Cape Cod and beyond are honoring a leader who emphasized humility and inclusion throughout his papacy.
