Pierre Sagna CSSp., a retired Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of St. Louis Senegal, passed away on Sunday morning in Dakar, Senegal.

Bishop Sagna retired from his ministry as Bishop of the Diocese of St. Louis in 2003 and spent his retirement years in The Gambia, at the Holy Cross Church, Brusubi.

The Catholic Community of The Gambia has conveyed sincere sympathies to the Catholic Community of Senegal through his eminence, Theodore Adrien Cardinal Sarr and the conference of Bishop of Senegal, on the loss of a "brother in the Episcopate; and also to the Spiritan Community in Senegal".

"Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him forever. Amen".
