Forty Hours Devotion at Holy Innocents (NYC) - Closing Solemn Mass of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King

On Sunday, October 25th, 2015, at 10:30 AM Holy Innocents had a Solemn Mass for the Feast of Christ the King to close its Forty Hours Devotion.

It was a very solemn Feast, and just like the two previous Holy Masses, this Holy Mass was celebrated, served, and sung with great devotion, reverence, and solemnity.

Forty Hours Devotion at Holy Innocents (NYC) - Solemn Votive Mass for Peace (2nd Day)

Here are photos of the second day of the Forty Hours Devotion - Saturday, October 24th, 2015 at 1 PM. This was a Solemn Votive Mass for Peace. There was adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament before and after.

 

There was also (of course!) continuous all-night adoration on Saturday as well, with the help and vigilance of many devout and dedicated parishioners of Holy Innocents. As expected, this Holy Mass was also celebrated, served, and sung with much devotion and reverence.
