Less than 24 hours after the announcement of Pope Francis’s death, the Archdiocese of Montreal gathered a large assembly for a solemn requiem Mass celebrated on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral.

On March 22, 2025, Montreal was delighted to welcome His Eminence Cardinal Frank Leo to the Cathedral of Marie-Reine-du-Monde, and the following day, March 23, to the parish of Notre-Dame-de-la-Consolata.
