FALL RIVER\u2014A Memorial Mass for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI will be offered in each deanery -or region- of the Diocese of Fall River on Wednesday evening, January 4, as an opportunity for the faithful of the area to gather to pray for the repose of the soul of the retired pontiff whose funeral will take place the next day in St. Peter\u2019s Square in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., has asked the priest who serves as the dean in each deanery to be celebrant and homilist of the Mass in that respective region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father Riley Williams, who is preparing to celebrate the Memorial Mass in Fall River, said, \u201cBoth during his ministry as Pope as well as in the years before and after, the words, writings, and actions of Benedict XVI were an example of what it looks like to follow Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow that his time in this life has come to a close, it is a chance for Catholics and all people of good will to reflect on his legacy and pray for his soul.  Our gathering at this Memorial Mass will give our community a chance to do just that, and I hope that many will be able to join us.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope Benedict XVI, whose eight-year pontificate came to a close with his stunning resignation in 2013, died on Saturday, December 31, in Rome at the age of 95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a reflection<\/a> shared that day, Bishop Cunha recalled the retired pontiff as an \u201cintellectual giant\u201d and said, \u201cthe influence Pope Benedict has had on the Church is great, and his legacy will live on for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
