Pope Francis, RIP

Pope Francis (1936-2025). Following the sad news of Pope Francis’s death, we will dedicate Mass Intentions for the repose of his soul this Sunday where a Mass has not already been dedicated.

At Westminster Cathedral, there will be a Requiem Mass at all scheduled Masses for the next three days (21st to 23rd April), and the Cathedral will remain open until midnight on the three nights. For the remainder of the nine days of mourning, one Requiem Mass a day will be celebrated at Westminster Cathedral.
