the funeral of Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square, followed by the procession
through the streets of Rome to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, offering

By Vatican News
The Solemn Requiem Mass for Pope Francis will draw the
attention of the entire world, recalling memories of a similar solemn moment
twenty years ago with the funeral Mass of Pope John Paul II, on 8 April 2005.
At the same time, this funeral will mark a unique occasion
for today's media, as it will mark the first time the transfer of a Pope's
mortal remains from the Vatican to another location for burial will be broadcast
live globally.
All will take place on Saturday, 26 April, starting at 10:00
AM Rome time, when Vatican Radio - Vatican News will broadcast live the full
Requiem Mass, followed by the procession accompanying the Pope's coffin from
St. Peter's Square to the Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he will be laid to
rest, as per his wishes.
Live television coverage in 15 languages
To ensure the widest possible audience can follow the
events, the Dicastery for Communication (our parent organization) will provide
live radio and television commentary in 15 languages: English, Italian,
Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, German, Polish, Vietnamese,
Chinese, and Arabic, along with four sign languages: American Sign Language
(ASL), Italian, Spanish, and French.
Television coverage, provided by the Vatican Television
Center – Vatican Media, will include aerial and ground video of both St.
Peter’s Square and the entire route to the Basilica of St. Mary Major.
Multimedia coverage (print, radio, television, and social
