On Sunday, March 9 at 4 PM, the Schola will offer 30 minutes of choral music featuring Eucharistic texts of St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P.

Solemn Exposition will begin following the 12:10 PM Mass on Friday, March 7.

“One of the best known popular devotions in Catholic churches is Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, lasting part of three days, which we call the devotion of the Forty Hours’ Devotion. It is recommended that it be held yearly with the greatest possible solemnity.”
