As you can see by the photos taken today, both the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace and Iolani Palace are getting all decked out for tomorrow's celebration.It will begin with the celebration of Holy Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu. It is where Father Damien de Veuster was ordained a priest.
There will be a prelude concert at Iolani Palace by the Royal Hawaiian Band from 1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.
The Procession from the Cathedral to Iolani Palace will begin at 1:00 p.m. (following the conclusion of the Mass).
