Bora Bora (Fides Agency ) - “An hour after the Vatican's official announcement, the long tolling of bells in Raromatai announced the death of Pope Francis.The bells of the jubilee church of St. Andrew in Raiatea, the Holy Family in Huahine, and St. Peter Celestine in Bora Bora rang out in the night to announce the strongest hope in the mystery of the passage to eternal life, even in the heart of the Pacific Ocean ” reports Father Sandro Lafranconi, a priest of the Society of African Missions and parish priest of St. Peter Celestine in Bora Bora, who wanted to express the affection and devotion for the Holy Father of the largest diocese of the universal Church.
This brief but heartfelt message is one of many that Fides has received since the day Pope Francis returned to the Father's house on April 21.
