Vigil Mass In Honor Of Pope Francis At Elmhurst

The Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens honors the Pope's life and legacy with a Mass and vigil presided over in English and Spanish by Bishop Robert Brennan at St. Bartholomew's Roman Catholic Church in Elmhurst, Queens, New York, on April 25, 2025. Pope Francis, who dies on Easter Monday at the age of 88, is known to many Catholics as a progressive pope. Queens residents remember his historic visit to New York City in September 2015, when he receives a warm welcome from Catholics and many others of all faiths as soon as his plane lands at JFK Airport.
