Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila will celebrate the 10:30 a.m. Mass this Sunday, May 4, at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception to mark the conclusion of the novemdiales, the traditional nine days of mourning following the death of a pope.

The faithful of the Archdiocese of Denver are invited to attend the liturgy and join in prayer for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis. This solemn Mass offers a special opportunity for the local Church to unite in mourning and gratitude for the life and service of the Holy Father.

All are encouraged to come together in hope and remembrance as the archdiocese honors Pope Francis' legacy by entrusting him to God's mercy.
