Beginning at midnight, and following the liturgy and reading of Dante's Inferno, the focus shifts to the Overnight Silent Vigil at the Altar of Repose. The Cathedral remains open all night, grounding participants in quiet prayer, meditation, and watchfulness.

During the vigil, there will be moments of prayer gathered around the Icon of Our Lady of Ferguson and All Those Killed by Gun Violence — a powerful contemporary icon depicting the Virgin Mary in prayerful orans posture, created in response to violence and witnessed daily as a sign of intercession, healing, and justice.
