Today, state Senator Herron Keyon Gaston (D-Bridgeport), Senior Pastor of Summerfield United Methodist Church in Bridgeport, is releasing a statement following the passing of Pope Francis.
“With the passing of Pope Francis, the world has lost a humble servant of God, an advocate for peace, and a compassionate voice for the voiceless,” said Senator Gaston. “As a pastor, I will carry forward the profound lessons Pope Francis taught us—of humility, mercy, and unwavering commitment to serving others with love and compassion. His dedication to God, his call for mercy, and his deep love for humanity have touched hearts across the globe. As we mourn his loss, we remember his example of love and humility, and strive to continue his mission of justice, compassion, and unity.”
