Tomorrow, Thursday June 8, is the fifth Thursday of St George, that is, it is kept in the basilica as the fifth special day of the nine-Thursdays devotion in preparation for the feast of St George.
The days of devotions are centred on the votive celebration of Mass in honour of St George, a special mass at 7.00pm. Mass will be followed by adoration of the Eucharist and sacramental benediction.
