Flags Flying at Half-Staff in Memory of His Holiness Pope Francis

Following the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, President Trump has ordered all flags to fly at half-staff until the Pope's interment, to be determined. Pope Francis died at the age of 88 at his residence in Vatican City. He had served as pope, the head of the Catholic Church, since his election on March 13, 2013.

The cause of Pope Francis' death is currently unknown, but it followed a five-week stay in hospital a month earlier, where he suffered from a respiratory tract infection and double pneumonia.

Read the President's proclamation.
