The evening Mass of the Lord's Supper ends with the removal of the Body of Christ from the tabernacle in the main body of the church. The Eucharist is carried in procession to Creedon Hall, where it is kept overnight, to be distributed during the commemoration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday. After the procession, the altar is stripped bare, and all bells in the church are silent until the Gloria at the Easter Vigil. Parishioners are invited to bring white flowers to place before the Blessed Sacrament during the overnight Adoration.
