The names of the 36 victims will be read out and an Ecumenical Service has also been organised.
Cllr Aidan Fitzpatrick says a memorial to remember those who died will be erected in the future.
"There is a commemoration and it is a sensitive issue. The council are working well with the orphanage committee to have a memorial put up in the future".
