Pilgrimage 2011

Preparations are well along for the 74th Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Ann, being held on Sunday July 29, 2012. This year we are blessed to have Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, the Metropolitan Archbishop, as the Principal Celebrant and Homilist for the Pilgrimage. The Archbishop will preside and preach at the Triduum, held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening. The Archbishop will also preside and preach at the mass for healing at 2:00 pm on Sunday afternoon. No doubt the Archbishop will have a message that will inspire us to deepen our walk with Jesus, and also challenge us in our discipleship.

Last year we were blessed with beautiful weather on Triduum Saturday evening, and so were able to reinstate the candle-light procession to the Shrine where we prayed for the pilgrims who would be coming to the Shrine on Pilgrimage Sunday, and also renewed our own commitment to the journey of faith begun at our Baptism. We hope to be able to do this again this year.

The dedication of so many parishioners and friends of the Shrine of St. Ann is deeply inspiring. This is an occasion of faith and witness to the abiding love of our God. Come! Experience the spiritual richness of the Pilgrimage! Be renewed in heart and soul!
