-+-- Zllbe Qlirnssruahs -i--- gautturnal Qhuratiun Every Thursday evening preceding the First Friday, the boys of the school attend adoration for one hour in the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Our Principal, Father Charles, is director of the services. The OHSICCTS of this society are William Meany, Paul Mailloux and James Madigan. The service is divided into nine so called nocturns. Originally in the liturgy of the church one of these was said every hour. But now the boys recite the nine in one hour and then attend Benediction. This Nocturnal Adoration Society is an outgrowth of what was formerly the custom among the men of St. Vincent's Parish of holding services all during the night before each First Friday.
