After the service, Singapore’s archbishop, Cardinal William Goh, paid tribute to the late pontiff.
“Pope Francis actually is a person for all, a person who has a coronary heart for the susceptible, the sick, marginalised, and those that are struggling,” he mentioned.
Throughout the Homily, he added that the pope was a person who cared for everybody, no matter whether or not they have been Catholics.
The Catholic Church will observe a nine-day interval of mourning, mentioned Mr Andre Ahchak, a spokesperson from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore.
There will probably be a devoted on-line area on the CatholicSG web site for folks to depart messages of condolences, he added. Parishes throughout the archdiocese will organise their very own memorial occasions and prayer vigils.
