Label TextThe funeral of John F. Kennedy took place on November 24, 1963, when about 1,200 guests attended Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew in Washington, D.C. Cardinal Richard Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, celebrated the Pontifical Requiem Low Mass. He had married John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier. Two months after the funeral, Cushing offered a pontifical Solemn High Requiem Mass at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston with the city’s orchestra and choir singing Mozart’s Requiem setting.
