Hundreds of thousands gathered in Rome Saturday to attend the pope’s funeral Mass, according to the Vatican. Pope Francis is being remembered for his humility and calls to action. The late pontiff leaves a legacy of inspiring others to fight climate change, welcoming the LGBTQ community, and serving the poor. Among those who knew him personally is Brother Michael Perry, who from 2013 to 2021 served as General Minister of the Order of the Friars Minor. Perry, who arranged a delegation from Siena College to meet with Pope Francis in 2024, joined mourners in Vatican City to celebrate the life of Pope Francis and lay him to rest. Perry spoke with WAMC about the experience from Rome Saturday.
