PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas J. Tobin will celebrate a 'Prayer for the Nation' Mass at noon Tuesday at the Cathedral of Saints Peter & Paul.
The non-partisan liturgical celebration is for "God's guidance on wisdom on those who are chosen to lead our nation, state and local communities," the bishop said. "Perhaps a little prayer will go a long way in providing some assurance and guidance for our leaders."
The Diocese of Providence also plans an exposition of the Blessed Sacrament immediately after the Mass, concluding with a Benediction at 3 p.m.
