The 1st 30 minutes will be focused on asking our Blessed Mother (patroness of the USA under the title of the Immaculate Conception), to intercede for us to remove the rancor and divisiveness that are racking our country. We will process around the church with the statue of our Lady of Fatima and finish by praying the Rosary.

During the 2nd 30 minutes we will have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. We will focus on adoring Jesus, and placing all our trust in His Divine Mercy. We will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and finish with Benediction.
