Bishop Steven Lopes, chair of the Bishops’ Committee on Liturgy for the USCCB, explained that there should be a special Mass in every Parish in Memory of Pope Benedict XVI. He also requested the implementation of a longstanding custom: the Novemdiales.
“It is the custom that the nine days following the funeral of a Pope are observed as official days of mourning in Rome and throughout the Church. The Novemdiales, as they are called, may be observed in different ways in the various particular churches. In addition to the celebration of Mass, Bishops might encourage public prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours, Eucharistic and other devotional prayer, lectures on the teaching and legacy of the Pope, activities for the relief of the poor offered for the intention of his soul, or other such initiatives,” Lopes wrote.
Immaculate Conception and Assumption Parish celebrated a Solemn Memorial Mass for Pope Benedict XVI on the 9th Day of Mourning, Friday, January 13, at 7:00 PM, at Immaculate Conception Church. May he rest in peace.
