Statement on the Death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI by Bishop Mueggenborg
I received the news of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s death with sadness. He was a great man and a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. His courageous and humble leadership as a theologian, bishop and pope was a blessing for the Church and for the world. Please pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. I invite you to join me in a Memorial Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral in Reno on Wednesday evening, January 11, 2023 at 5:30 pm. Link to Event
