On Saturday 25 April 2025, the world will say their farewells to Pope Francis, a pontiff who will be remembered for all his work with the poor, for modernising the Catholic Church and for bringing people of all faiths together. Pope Francis’s funeral will get underway tomorrow in Rome, in breaking with tradition he will have a much simpler affair than many of his predecessors.
The passing of Pope Francis has left Catholics, particularly in Africa, mourning the loss of a humble leader known for his connection to the grassroots of the church.
Pope Francis has chosen to be buried at Saint Mary Major Basilica, deviating from the tradition of burial in St. Peter’s Basilica, marking a break in nearly 150 years of precedent.
