The farewell mass for the late Pope Francis takes place at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Buenos Aires on Saturday, April 26.
Pope Francis passed away on Monday at the age of 88 and was buried in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome earlier today.
Pope Francis, the first pontiff from the Global South was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires. He became a cardinal under Pope John Paul II in 2001, and succeeded Benedict XVI in 2013.
His tenure saw him focus on issues like social justice, climate change, migration and the most marginalised people in society, although he saw some criticism across the spectrum for either not going far enough - or even going too far.
