On Sunday morning (July 27) at approximately 10:00am local time, His Eminence, Francis Cardinal Marchisano, Archpriest emeritus of the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican died at the age of 85 years.
Created a Cardinal during the Consistory of October 21, 2003, he was entrusted with various responsibilities within the Roman Curia, including service as the President of the Pontifical Commission of the Cultural Goods of the Church and President of the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archeology. He also served as Vicar General of His Holiness for Vatican City and as President of the Fabric of Saint Peter and as President of the Office for Works of the Apostolic See.
The funeral Mass, which will be presided over by the Cardinal Dean of the College of Cardinals, will be celebrated on Wednesday morning, July 30 beginning at 8:00am local time in the Vatican Basilica. The Holy Father will preside over the Rites of Final Commendation.
On Monday morning, the Vatican Press Centre released the text of the message of condolence which the Holy Father sent to the Archbishop of Turin, His Excellency, Cesare Nosiglia.
His Excellency, the Most Reverend
Cesare Nosiglia
Archbishop of Turin
Via Val della Torre, 3 10149, Turin
Having learned the news of the death of Cardinal Francisco Marchisano, illustrious son of that land, I wish to express to Your Excellency, to the presbyterate and to the entire Diocesan community, as well as to the relatives and friends of the late Cardinal, the assurance of my profound condolences. I remember with affection, this beloved pastor who for so many years afforded his precious collaboration to the Apostolic See, especially in the Congregation for Catholic Education and then as Archpriest of the Vatican Basilica, and finally as President of the Office of the Works of the Apostolic See. He leaves the witness of a life spent in generous service to his vocation as a priest and as a bishop, always concerned about the needs of the faithful and about the world of art and culture. I raise prayers of supplication to the Lord, asking that he be welcomed into the fullness of joy and eternal peace, and I send to all those who are saddened by his death, the comfort of my Apostolic Blessing.
