What To Expect From The Funeral
This morning, Pope Francis is being laid to rest in a ceremony that reflects both his deepest pastoral values and the vision he set for the Church.
While presidents, royalty, and world leaders gather in St. Peter’s Square, it will be prisoners and migrants—those he championed throughout his papacy—who will accompany his coffin into the basilica for burial.
Up to 200,000 people are expected to attend the funeral, which Francis personally planned when he revised and simplified the Vatican’s rites in 2024. His final wish: to be remembered as a humble priest, not as a figure of worldly power.
