Join us for an evening of prayer at Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica in communion with the cardinals as they begin the Papal Conclave on May 7th in Rome to choose the next pope. We will celebrate a Bilingual Mass at 7pm followed by Eucharistic adoration until 9pm to pray for our Church and for the Holy Spirit to guide the conclave and our next pope.
