With profound sadness and deep gratitude, we honor the life and legacy of His Holiness Pope Francis.

The Pope’s visionary leadership and compassion inspired global conversations around healing, health, and human dignity. In partnership with the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Culture and the STOQ Foundation, His Holiness supported The Cura Foundation in bringing together scientists, physicians, ethicists, faith leaders, and changemakers to explore breakthroughs in medicine and the sacred intersection of science and spirituality.

Together, we pursued a deeper understanding of what makes us human—and how we might build a healthier, more compassionate world.

We will carry his wisdom and spirit forward as we continue to hashtag and hashtag .

May he rest in peace.
