Stockton's Catholic community mourns loss of Pope Francis ...Middle East

A noon mass at St. Mary's Catholic Church in downtown Stockton was full of prayer and mourning for the late Pope Francis, who died of a stroke that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure.

Marietta Squires-Arenas made the journey from Salida to Stockton to pray for His Holiness as soon as she could.

"He was a man with a very strong faith, so I learned from him," said another church-goer, Rose Garcia.

"Especially yesterday, he gave the last service, so to me, connected in a way. Yeah, that's the right word, connected," said Garcia.

"It's about welcoming everyone. It's about taking care of our neighbors. It's about forgiving those who hurt us," he said.

There will be a Rosary in both English and Spanish at the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Stockton starting at 7 p.m. on Monday.
