Sunday, August 10, Place du Port in Arzon will host the program “The Day of the Lord” of France2. The 52 -minute and live Catholic event will take place in the open air, facing the sea.
Mass will be chaired by Joseph Raoul, rector of the Arzon parish. He will be assisted by Jean-Marie Petitclerc preacher of the “Day of the Lord” and Jean-Pierre Baconnet, deacon.
Banks and chairs planned for 1,000 faithful
To ensure the smooth running of the ceremony, the parish volunteers will have banks and chairs on the esplanade for 1,000 faithful. Eight or ten modular trays will be installed for a development for the altar.
The organist holder of the Cathedral of Nantes which regularly helps in Sunday masses will also be present.
Chapel of Crouesty, Presbytery Park…
“At the start of the year, I asked programmers of the show if they wanted to broadcast the mass of August 15 from the Crouesty chapel but, after studying the site, it turned out that access to the chapel was unsuitable for trucks that transport the technical equipment,” explains Father Joseph Raoul, returning to the origin of the project. “So a second proposal had emerged with the Park of the Presbytery. It is wooded and in summer, the celebrations are very appreciated. But, again, various difficulties appeared. It was in May that the Compagnie des Ports du Morbihan agreed with me for this outdoor mass of August 10, ”continues Father Raoul.
Practical
The esplanade will be fenced and exterior as interior will be secure. The order of Malta will be present with the participation of two rescuers. The assembly is invited to meet in the square where two entry stations are scheduled, before 10:30 a.m. (it will no longer be possible to enter after).
