Where to watch Pope Francis'

funeral Mass live

Pope Francis' solemn funeral Mass will be broadcast and livestreamed by multiple media outlets April 26, providing several ways people can watch and participate in the funeral from around the world.

The Mass begins at 10 a.m. local time in Rome, or 3 a.m. CDT, in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. Giovanni Cardinal Re, dean of the College of Cardinals, will preside over the Mass. Bishops, cardinals and priests from around the world will concelebrate, including Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop Emeritus of Galveston-Houston.

Vatican News will livestream the Mass on its English YouTube channel (y en Español tambien), and OSV News will carry that coverage at OSVNews.com. The Mass will also be livestreamed by The New York Times and other news outlets, and broadcast on many U.S. television networks including ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC. Britain's BBC will also provide live coverage. EWTN will also broadcast the funeral Mass live, with coverage beginning at 2 a.m. CDT.

The Catholic Channel (Channel 129) on SiriusXM radio will also broadcast the Mass, beginning at 3 a.m. CDT., with Father Dave Dwyer and Lino Rulli providing on-location coverage. Relevant Radio will also begin live coverage of the Mass at the same time. Both stations will rebroadcast the Mass later in the day. Other Catholic radio stations are also expected to carry live broadcasts of the Mass.

Pope Francis died Easter Monday, April 21, at age 88. His funeral is expected to draw world leaders and dignitaries, including President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, a Catholic. Following the funeral, Pope Francis is expected to be interred at a simple tomb in the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome, per his wishes.

The final rituals of the funeral Mass mark the beginning of the "Novendiales," nine days of mourning and that include Masses for the repose of Pope Francis' soul.

As many of you know one of our many programs we offer here at St. Anne, is our student and family ambassador program. It is a wonderful initiative to help new students and families transition smoothly into the school community. Having peer support from both student ambassadors and parent ambassadors can make a big difference in helping newcomers feel welcomed, oriented, and integrated.

If you or your student would like to be an ambassador or you have any questions, please let me know. We are extremely grateful for your support to this program.
