Procession of Our Lady

The Procession in honour of the Immaculate Conception will take place on Sunday after Vespers, ca. 4.00p.m. As usual, this will be a great opportunity to honour Our Lady, and since it will take place on the afternoon following the ordination of Brother Edward to the Diaconate, it will be a particularly special occasion. Brothers are needed to carry the statue of Our Lady, robed, and Brothers who are neither serving the ceremonies nor carrying the statue are strongly encouraged to walk in the procession, robed.
