This afternoon, thousands are expected to line New Orleans streets for the funeral procession of Archbishop Philip Hannan. Visitation at Notre Dame seminary on South Carrollton Avenue continues today, but this afternoon, they move things downtown.
"At two o'clock, we will have a procession from Notre Dame Seminary to St. Louis Cathedral," said Archbishop Gregory Aymond. "I would expect that the procession would take probably about two hours."
A horse-drawn hearse will be led by a brass band will travel up Carrollton towards Canal Street. The procession will then head downtown to Chartres Street, then proceed to the cathedral.
"Arriving at St. Louis Cathedral, we will then have a continued wake that evening," the Archbishop said. The wake lasts until 9:00 p.m. The funeral mass is Thursday at 2:00 p.m. in the cathedral, then Hannan's remains will be laid to rest there.
