WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - More than 2,000 seats will be available in Wake Forest University's Wait Chapel for those who wish to watch on a big screen the funeral Mass for Wake Forest men's basketball coach Skip Prosser.

Due to limited seating at Holy Family Catholic Church, where the Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, July 31, Wake Forest has made arrangements to show the Mass simultaneously in Wait Chapel.

Doors to Wait Chapel will open at 5 p.m. Music will be performed in the chapel before the simulcast of the funeral Mass begins. There will be a performance on the chapel's carillon shortly before the Mass and bulletins will be distributed to all who attend the simulcast in Wait Chapel. The bulletins will be identical to those provided at Holy Family Church.

At the chapel, as at Holy Family Catholic Church, no audio or video devices may be brought inside. Members of the public or media may not record the funeral Mass at the church or the proceedings at the chapel.
