On Friday afternoon, the Moleben to the Mother of God was celebrated in church and was attended by all students of ACS. A moleben is an intercessory service conducted by a priest, asking our Saviour, the Mother of God, or one of the saints for assistance with a specific matter (illness, family difficulties, employment, good health, success at school, travel, etc.). After Moleben, the Sodality Girls presented flowers to the icon of Blessed Mary.
