Pope Francis died at age 88 on April 21, setting off a series of centuries-old rituals to select a new leader of the Catholic Church.

Bishop Larry Sullivan delivered the sermon at a special commemoration for Pope Francis, hours after the pope was laid to rest.

"He was dear to all people, very down to earth. You’ve never seen any of that kind of person, so humbled," said James Dmello, who was among around 800 people at a Saturday evening Mass at Holy Name Cathedral on the Near North Side.
