Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pope Francis was the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church and the first from the Americas. His papacy, from March 13, 2013, to April 21, 2025, brought change to the Vatican and the Church at large, resulting in his becoming one of the most complex pontificates of the last century. Pope Francis died Monday, the day after Easter, at the age of 88. As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he left behind a legacy of service, unity, and compassion. ~ Happy last April weekend!
