CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Governor Patrick Morrisey has issued a proclamation directing that all flags in West Virginia be flown at half mast until sunset on the day of internment in honor of Pope Francis.
“We join Catholics around the world to mourn the loss of Pope Francis,” said Governor Morrisey.
“His Holiness served the Church with dignity, compassion, and a humble heart while teaching all of us how to live closer to God. May he rest in eternal glory with the Lord.”
Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, passed away at the age of 88 following a period of declining health.
