Pope will celebrate Mass for All Souls at Vatican cemetery because of Covid-19
Written by Uganda Episcopal Conference
Nov. 2 is traditionally the day the pope visits a cemetery to celebrate Mass for all the deceased. This year however, because of the pandemic, he will visit the Teutonic Cemetery in the Vatican. It will be a private visit beginning at 4 p.m.
He will celebrate Mass and pray for a moment before visiting the grottoes of St. Peter's Basilica, which house the tombs of former popes.
On Thursday, Nov. 5, at 11 a.m., Pope Francis will celebrate another liturgy at the basilica's main altar. That one will be for cardinals and bishops who have died this year.
