Memorial Mass for Pope Francis - Friday at 12:20p

In anticipation of the funeral of the Holy Father Pope Francis in Rome, Archbishop José Gomez will celebrate a memorial Mass in thanksgiving for the life and ministry of Pope Francis on Friday at 12:10 p.m. at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. All are invited to join Archbishop Gomez, our Auxiliary Bishops and clergy to pray for the soul our Holy Father and bid him a final farewell from our local church in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

 

The Mass will also be livestreamed on @LACatholics and OLACathedral Facebook channels.

 

The Archdiocese has created a special webpage dedicated to the Holy Father which includes the Archbishop’s statement, homily, and other writings on Pope Francis, as well as videos, images and other resources. The page will be updated in the coming days with information on Masses and other events during the Novendiales, the nine-day period of mourning for a deceased Pope. During this time, the funeral rites are celebrated daily in Rome by the Cardinals and Masses are offered for the repose of his soul throughout the world.  You can find the page at www.LACatholics.org/pope-francis.
