Pope Francis’ funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM (1.30pm. Indian time) in St. Peter’s Square, as announced by Holy See Press Office on Tuesday.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals, will lead the celebration, which will be concelebrated by Patriarchs, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and priests from across the globe along with world leaders and huge number of faithful.
The Eucharistic celebration will conclude with the Ultima commendatio and the Valedictio, marking the beginning of the Novemdiales, or nine days of mourning and Masses for the repose of Pope Francis’ soul.
As wished by Pope Francis and breaking from the tradition, the late Pope’s body will then be taken into St. Peter’s Basilica and then to the Basilica of St. Mary Major for entombment.
Earlier, on Wednesday, the coffin containing the Pope’s body was carried from the chapel of the Casa Santa Marta to St. Peter’s Basilica, so that the faithful may pay their respects.
St Peter’s Basilica is open for the faithful who wish to pay their respects to the late Pope from Wednesday 11: AM to midnight; on Thursday from 7:00 AM to midnight; and on Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
