In accordance with Executive Order #20-30, Governor Laura Kelly directed that flags on all state buildings, grounds, and facilities be flown at half-staff from now until sunset on April 26, the day of Pope Francis’ interment.

“As one of the most influential leaders of our time, Pope Francis was a beacon of light. His wisdom inspired countless people to treat others with compassion and generosity,” Governor Laura Kelly said.“May his legacy of selflessness and humility be instilled in each of us and continue to live on.”
