INFO – Eucharistic Procession St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church – Northampton – June 2

I received some details regarding the Rosary Procession this Sunday in Northampton (TY Stanley!).  Below are links to a program/booklet and flyer outlining the day’s events.  The event begins at 2:00p.m. and the procession at roughly 3:00p.m. after speaker Fr. David Aufiero (“THE EUCHARIST WILL MAKE YOU A SAINT”).

Rosary Procession – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Church – June 2

Hello All,

I am looking for some clarification on the Rosary Procession in Northampton this Sunday.   My notes from our recent meeting show 12 noon but, the notes from the Diocese website seems to state it will be after Fr. Aufiero’s talk at 2:00.  In the past, I seen to remember the procession was around noon.  Does anyone know which is correct?  Thanks, Tim
