Members of the Fall River Diocese are invited to join Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., in the annual Procession and Mass for Peace on Monday, October 10, 2016, the Columbus Day holiday.
Procession participants should meet no later than 5:30 p.m. in the area of St. Anne’s Church, across from Kennedy Park on South Main Street, to march approximately one-half mile to St. Mary’s Cathedral. The procession will begin at 6:00 p.m. Marchers will carry candles, recite the rosary, and sing Marian hymns in various languages.
At approximately 7 p.m. Bishop da Cunha, S.D.V., will celebrate the Mass for Peace at St. Mary’s Cathedral, located at the corner of Second and Spring Streets. The Bishop will be homilist at the liturgy.
The Mass for Peace will last about one to one-and one-half hours, with the entire ceremony concluding around 8:30 p.m.
Those who are disabled or handicapped should proceed directly to St. Mary’s Cathedral, where a special area will be designated for them.
This year’s Procession and Mass for Peace will conclude a special extended period of daily prayer for that intention in the Fall River Diocese as requested by Bishop da Cunha.
