With deep sorrow, we join the global Catholic community in mourning the passing of Pope Francis.

A humble shepherd and tireless advocate for the poor, Pope Francis led with compassion, mercy, and a steadfast commitment to justice. His legacy will continue to inspire our Nativity Prep community as we educate and support our students with love.

We give thanks for his life and his dedication to building a more inclusive, and compassionate world.
