The liturgy will begin at 3 p.m. in the Catholic Central High School gym (319 Sheldon Blvd. SE, Grand Rapids) where we will gather and process together as pilgrims to the Cathedral of Saint Andrew (301 Sheldon Blvd. SE, Grand Rapids) for Mass.
The distance between the gym and the cathedral is approximately one block. Those with limited mobility who may have difficulty processing are invited to go directly to the Cathedral.

The opening Mass will be livestreamed on the diocesan website and YouTube for those who are unable to attend.
