Following the 11:45 a.m. Mass, there will be a solemn outdoor procession with the Blessed Sacrament, around the block of the church. This procession will include all the faithful singing hymns of praise.
The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed continuously, and volunteer adorers are needed to sign up for one hour time slots, beginning at 9 p.m., May 23 and ending at 8 a.m., May 25.
The church will remain open throughout the night with police presence to ensure safety. St. Finbar encourages everyone to sign up and volunteer for a one hour time slot.
