Here is an update on our Annual Divine Mercy National Shrine Pilgrimage.
We are not only blessed to have the beautiful National Shrine of Divine Mercy close by in western Massachusetts, but we can celebrate this 2025 Jubilee Year as a Pilgrim to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy which is celebrating its 65th anniversary, and is an official "sacred place-pilgrimage site" for which we can obtain the special Jubilee indulgence. Not coincidentally, 2025 is also the 25th jubilee of St. Faustina, canonized in 2000 as the patron saint of Divine Mercy, an Apostle of Mercy, and the Secretary of God’s Mercy. For more info on our pilgrimage, please see https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/visit_planning.
For your convenience, this year we have rented a private luxury coach. You can ride with us for only $25 per person or you can still go on your own. Please contact one of us to reserve your seat as soon as you can and get your tickets. See https://silverfoxcoach.com/Silver for more info on the best bus company around.
We will leave St. Luke the Evangelist Church on Thursday September 18th at 10 am from our Parking Lot behind the church at 70 West Main St. Westboro and return about 6 pm. Our optional schedule is: 12 Noon Lunch, 1 pm Eucharist Adoration & Confession, 1:30 Holy Rosary, 2:00 Mass, 3:00 Divine Mercy Chaplet, Veneration of St. Faustina relic & blessings of articles, 3:30 Stations of the Cross, and at 4:30 leave the Shrine with our bus.
You can bring your own food, or food is now available at the Eden Hill Café at the Shrine! Their Catholic Gift Shop, the largest in Massachusetts, is open until 4:30 pm. For info on the beautiful sites, please see https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org, and https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/stations about the unusual life size statues of Jesus, with Whom we will walk!
