A SPECIAL Requiem Mass was celebrated in St John’s Cathedral for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis.
The Mass took place on April 23, and the principal celebrant was Bishop of Limerick Brendan Leahy.
Bishop Leahy in his homily that “Pope Francis has returned to the Lord he served so faithfully”.
“He leaves behind a Church that he helped reform to be more open, more merciful, and more faithful to Jesus Christ.
In his life and leadership, he called us to hope, to humility, and to holiness.
He underlined the importance of recognising that we journey together as Christians not as scattered individuals.” In attendance were members of The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.
