Pope Leo XIV will celebrate Mass for the deceased on November 2 at Verano Cemetery in Rome. The Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff announced the schedule on October 27.

The Mass is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the cemetery near the Basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls. Cardinal Baldo Reina, the vicariate cardinal, will concelebrate with vicegerent Renato Tarantelli Baccari and Father Emmanuel Maria, the parish priest of the basilica. Students from the Pontificio Seminario Romano Maggiore and the Seminario Redemptoris Mater will assist with the liturgical service. Access to the celebration is free until seating is filled.

The Pope will pray for the dead and give an apostolic blessing over the graves. Other scheduled liturgies include a Mass on November 5 at St. Peter’s Basilica for cardinals and bishops who died during the past year, and a Mass on November 18 at St. Peter’s Basilica for the 400th anniversary of the basilica's dedication.
