DENVER (KDVR) — The requiem bells tolled at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver for an entire hour as the church marked the passing of Pope Francis.
Crowds of people came to mourn his passing together.
"I'm praying for the pope, the one who has prayed for us all the time," said Nicholas Choi.
Some people were quite emotional.
"He's a man that's touched not only Catholics, but non-Catholics as well. He was by far mine and my family's favorite pope of all time," said Katy Worthington.
The church created a place of mourning at the side altar where people knelt, prayed, lit candles and placed flowers. After prayers and a rosary for the pope, the archbishop celebrated a special Easter Monday Mass.
After the service, Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila said he'd met Pope Francis a few times and that part of his legacy will be his outreach.
Pope Francis dies at 88"Especially to the people on the peripheries," the archbishop said.
Also, as the first Latin American pontiff, the archbishop said Pope Francis expanded the College of Cardinals, "by appointing so many cardinals from so many different countries rather than primarily Europe. So, there's now cardinals from countries that never had cardinals before."
