Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit the Verano monumental cemetery on Monday, November 2, to commemorate the faithful departed. According to the liturgical calendar published by the Vatican Press Office, the Pope will offer flowers and prayers at a tomb before presiding over a Mass at 16:00.

Cardinal Baldo Reina, the vicar of Rome, will concelebrate the Mass alongside the vicegerent of the diocese, Renato Tarantelli Baccari, and Father Emmanuel Maria, the parish priest of the Basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura. Students from the Pontificio Seminario Romano and the Redemptoris Mater Seminary will assist with the liturgical service. Access to the celebration is open to the public until available space is filled.

The Diocese of Rome will hold prayers for the deceased in all municipal cemeteries on November 1 and 2. Cardinal Reina has requested that priests organize community prayer moments according to the customs of their parishes. The diocese has provided a prayer guide on its website, which may also be used during Eucharistic adoration on the evening of October 31.
