President Kagame sent his heartfelt message of condolences to the Catholic Church for the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis yesterday.
We are saddened by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a moral voice of compassion, humility, and global solidarity.
His leadership was marked by an honest recognition of the Church’s history in Rwanda, leading to a new era of fruitful relations between the Catholic Church and our nation -one rooted in truth, reconciliation, and a shared commitment to the wellbeing of Rwandans.
On behalf of the people of Rwanda and myself, I extend heartfelt condolences to the Catholic Church and Catholics across the world”. (End)
