Father James Bissonette, diocesan administrator, said that given the pandemic restrictions, the hope is that people will feel free to come and pray for a moment or longer as they wish in a safe way.

The locations of the Holy Hours are as follows:

• Brainerd: St. Andrew Church, led by Father Daniel Weiske
• Cloquet: Queen of Peace Church, led by Father Justin Fish
• Duluth: Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary, led by Father Anthony Wroblewski
• Hibbing: Blessed Sacrament Church, led by Father Gabriel Waweru
• Virginia: Resurrection Church (Eveleth), led by Father Michael Garry

Those who are unable to attend in person are invited to pray from home during the same time period.

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine on him ....
