It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that we at Soccer School Thodupuzha join the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, lovingly remembered by many as “Marpappa.”
Born on December 17, 1936, and having left us on April 21, 2025, Pope Francis touched countless lives across the globe through his humility, compassion, and unwavering dedication to peace and service.

At Soccer School, we believe that true leadership comes from love, kindness, and selflessness — all values that Pope Francis lived by every day. His inspiring life has taught generations to lead with their hearts, to stand for justice, and to embrace all humanity with open arms.

🌟 A Legacy of Light:
Pope Francis was more than a spiritual leader; he was a symbol of hope, unity, and compassion. His presence in the world encouraged dialogue, peace-building, and a deeper understanding among people of different faiths and backgrounds.

🙏 Our Prayer:
We pray that his soul rests peacefully in the arms of the angels. Though he has left this world, his spirit will forever inspire us to walk paths of love, kindness, and inclusion.

May we all continue to carry forward the lessons he taught — in football, in life, and in every act of kindness we perform.

Rest in peace, Marpappa.
You will be missed, but never forgotten.
