The Diocese of Fall River will celebrate a Memorial Mass in honor of Pope Francis next week at St. Mary’s Cathedral.

 

The service is planned for Monday, April 28, at 7 p.m.

 

"All are welcome to attend the Mass to remember and pray for the peaceful repose of Pope Francis," a diocese announcement states.

 

Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., will be the celebrant of the Mass and homilist at Monday's service at St. Mary's Cathedral, located at 327 Second St., Fall River.

 

Pope Francis died Monday, April 21, the morning after Easter, in Rome at the age of 88 of a stroke and irreversible heart failure, according to the Vatican, ending a 12-year reign marked by his legacy of reform and repeated clashes with world leaders over immigration and economic issues.
