Pope to visit Summer Cemetery in commemoration of the faithful departed

On Sunday, November 2, the Feast of the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, Pope Leo XIV
will preside the Eucharistic celebration at the Campo Verano Monumental Communal Cemetery, popularly known as the «Summer Cemetery».

This celebration, presided by the Bishop of Rome, is usually held in one of the cemeteries that exist in the Italian capital. In recent years, the French Military Cemetery of Rome, the Teutonic Cemetery or the Laurentine Cemetery have hosted this celebration of the Holy Mass.

The following day, the Pope will preside at Holy Mass in suffrage for the late Roman Pontiff Francis and for the cardinals and bishops who have died during the year in the papal chapel of St. Peter's Basilica at 11 a.m.
