Following the death of Pope Francis, which occurred at 7:35 today at the age of 88 , the city of Cagliari joins in mourning. It does so with a message from Archbishop Monsignor Giuseppe Baturi, Secretary General of the Italian Episcopal Conference: «On Easter Monday, the intense earthly experience of Our beloved Holy Father Francis ended to enter into eternal Easter», he said.

The Archbishop asks that the bells be rung in all churches, that these, as far as possible, be left open and that moments of prayer be organized in suffrage for his soul . In the morning, liturgical indications will be issued by the Italian Episcopal Conference.

This evening at 7:00 pm, in the Cathedral Church of Cagliari, Archbishop Baturi will preside over a holy mass in suffrage.
