The crowds of people poured out of the St. Peter's Basilica on Sunday after mass was held. It was a mass, of course this time, without a Pope and there will be another Sunday in Rome where there is no sighting, no blessing from the Pope in St. Peter's Square.
But what a sight it was for some Houston Catholics who were greeted by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo at Saint Eusebio, which is his honorary church in Rome.
All of the Cardinals have a church that they are associated with and most of them said mass at that associated church Sunday morning. Cardinal DiNardo was there and so were a number of Houstonians.
Cardinal DiNardo spoke to Eyewitness News before and mentioned about the upcoming conclave and his hopes for that conclave and its outcome.
"I don't know if it's nervous, maybe a little anxious, but at this point, after you've been all week in dealing with all the background information, etc., you almost reach a point where yeah, I think we're ready to go, so I'm ready," said Cardinal DiNardo.
The crowds are starting to get bigger as the days get closer to the conclave vote.
Tom Koch and Art Rascon are in Rome and will have the very latest on this developing story on Eyewitness News and abc13.com.
