SEVEN ALTARS PILGRIMAGE
HOLY THURSDAY
For our Seven Altars Pilgrimage, we will gather immediately after Mass of the Lord’s Supper outside the youth room. We will not visit the altar in Servant Hall at STM; that will be our last altar. Prayer booklets and timelines will be given out. We will determine carpooling, pray for safe travels, and leave as quickly as possible.
We will visit the altars of repose at Corpus Christi, Annunciation, the Co-Cathedral, Holy Rosary, St. Anne’s, and St. Vincent de Paul. We will return to STM before midnight for our seventh altar to spend our final time of adoration of Jesus at our home parish. There will be pizza at Holy Rosary, in midtown. Donations for the pizza will be accepted. Please bring your water bottles. For more information, please get in touch with Mary Anne Jurica at 713-828-2124 (cell) or majurica7@gmail.com.
DIVINE MERCY NOVENA
Join us in preparing our hearts for Divine Mercy Sunday by praying the Divine Mercy Novena! This powerful nine-day devotion, given to us by Jesus through St. Faustina, begins on Good Friday, and concludes on Easter Saturday.
Good Friday, 2:30 pm in church
Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday – on your own
Easter Monday – Easter Friday - after the 5:30 p.m. mass
Easter Saturday – on your own, last day of the novena
Each day of the novena, we will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, offered for a different intention, and meditate on Jesus' promises of mercy for the whole world. You can pray with us in church or at home. Pamphlets will be available in the narthex. Let us open our hearts to God’s infinite mercy and prepare for the special graces of Divine Mercy Sunday!
“Jesus, I trust in You!”
