Biden Funeral Scheduled for Saturday in Delaware

From the News Journal:

Former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden’s funeral will take place Saturday at St. Anthony of Padua Church in Wilmington, according to The Dialog. […] President Barack Obama is expected to attend the funeral, but is not expected to speak, according to sources close to the White House.

The Dialog is an online newsletter/blog serving the Catholic community of Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

A private Mass for the Biden family was to be celebrated for the family June 4 at St. Joseph Church on the Brandywine in Greenville, Delaware, where he was a parishioner.

A funeral Mass for Biden was to be said June 6 at St. Anthony of Padua Church in Wilmington, Delaware. Burial will be at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Cemetery, where Beau’s mother and sister, who were killed in the car accident years ago, are buried.

I assume that the President and other “official mourners,” like Governor Markell, former Governor Minner, Senators Carper and Coons, will attend the Saturday mass at St. Anthony’s.
