With the death of Pope Benedict XVI, the Church universal enters a time of mourning. To honor the late pontiff and his incredible life and witness to Christianity, Denver’s Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception will host two Requiem Masses over the next two weeks, each celebrated by Denver’s bishops.
