What happens at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart when the pope dies?

We talked to Father Brian Ching, Rector of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, to learn about the changes you’ll see as we mourn Pope Francis.

Pope Francis sitting in the Vatican, greeting two males. They are both wearing black suits and white clerical collars.

“The Notre Dame community joins with the Church and the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. As Pope Francis often reminded us, no one is far from God’s merciful love, and the Church must be a ‘field hospital’ to warm hearts, heal wounds and open doors.”
