Pope's message of condolence

Pope Francis has expressed his sorrow and solidarity with the Archdiocese in a message received today from Cardinal Parolin, the Holy Father's Secretary of State. The message reads:

"His Holiness Pope Francis was deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of Archbishop Philip Tartaglia, and he offers heartfelt condolence and the assurance of his spiritual closeness to the clergy, religious and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Glasgow.

"With gratitude for the late Archbishop’s years of steadfast service to the building up of the Church in Scotland in obedience to the Gospel, in dedication to the works of the apostolate and in fidelity to the See of Peter, His Holiness willingly commends the soul of this much-loved pastor to the boundless mercy of Christ the Good Shepherd.

"To all who mourn Archbishop Tartaglia’s passing in the sure hope of the Resurrection, the Holy Father cordially imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of strength and peace in the Lord."

Cardinal Pieto Parolin

Secretary of State.
