The unveiled crucifix is reverently taken back to the Altar of Repose, marking the conclusion of the Eucharist ceremony. A cross-bearer leads the procession, followed by two servers carrying lighted candles. Father Vernon Aguiar, acting rector of the basilica since 2023, follows at the end.
Over time, the celebrations at the Club of St. Anthony have become muted. During Christmas, the manager, Mr Antonio Baretto, makes arrangements for decorating the club with lights. In 2023, he installed a Christmas tree with the Star of Bethlehem and a miniature representation of the nativity scene (the birth of Jesus in a manger) in the reception hall.
