Pope Francis

Bishop da Cunha will celebrate a Memorial Mass for Pope Francis at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 28, in St. Mary’s Cathedral in Fall River

As we mourn the passing of Pope Francis, we pray for the repose of his soul and echo the words of Bishop Edgar da Cunha, who yesterday wrote:

“I ask all of the faithful of the Diocese of Fall River to join me in praying for the repose of Pope Francis, whom God has called home to his eternal reward. We remember with gratitude the extraordinary life and ministry of this faithful servant, the first Pope from the Americas, who was the 265th successor of St. Peter.”
