Bishop Koenig will celebrate a special Mass in honor of the passing of the Holy Father on

Monday, April 28, 2025, at 12:10 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Peter, Sixth and North West Streets, in Wilmington.

All are invited to attend. The Mass will be live-streamed on the Diocese of Wilmington’s YouTube channel.

Read Bishop Koenig's message regarding the passing of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a

time to renew ourselves as "Pilgrims of Hope."

On the occasion of this Jubilee Year, the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network wishes to highlight

an essential aspect related to the gift of plenary indulgence. The Jubilee Indulgence is a Catholic practice that

allows people to receive remission from temporal punishment for their sins. One of the conditions

of the Jubilee Indulgence is that those seeking the indulgence join in prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.

To facilitate this, the Vatican has provided a poster(below) that features a QR code that links

to the Click to Pray App that contains the Holy Father's prayer intentions.
