Also included will be a Eucharistic procession through the streets reciting the rosary, a reflection by Archbishop Listecki, and Benediction.

All are welcome to attend. This is an outdoor event-please bring a lawn chair to sit on.
First Communicants are invited to wear their First Holy Communion attire – each first communicant in attendance will receive a blessed rosary from Archbishop Listecki.
