Today, Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires in Argentina, was elected the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church at the age of 76. He has taken the name Francis. As we celebrate the election of the new Bishop of Rome and Successor of St. Peter, like so many others, we hold Pope Francis In our prayers. May God bless and keep him and bless us through his ministry to the Church and the world.
