Forty Hours Devotion in Thanksgiving

for the Holy Father's Motu Proprio

September 14th-16th, 2007

 

From Friday, September 14th to Sunday, September 16th, the Shrine of Christ the King celebrated the Forty Hours Devotion in thanksgiving for His Holiness's motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum. The Forty Hours Devotion takes place over a period of three days. Whether in a contiguous period of forty hours or whether the Blessed Sacrament is reposed during the night, the same liturgical privileges and indulgences apply. We were particularly blessed as this was the first time Holy Mass was celebrated in our church building since its closure in 2002. The Institute is now in charge of restoring

its interior, for which it needs to raise all the funds.
