Governor Issues Statement on the Death of Francis Cardinal George

CHICAGO – Governor Bruce Rauner issued the following statement today on the death of Francis Cardinal George:

“Francis Cardinal George was the spiritual leader of millions of Catholics in and around Chicago and touched the lives of countless others through the Church’s schools, pastoral care and social services. He shepherded the Church through some of its most trying times, but leaves behind a strong community of faith that has tremendous positive impact on the people of Illinois, regardless of their creed. Diana and I pray that he rest in eternal peace.”
