Holy Week at the Shrine

We began celebrating the holiest of weeks in the Church year with the blessing of palms. Palm Sunday's mass was filled to capacity in the grotto chapel. Our schedule is posted on the website, www.shrinect.org. But we will celebrate:

- the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Thursday April 1 at 7:30 PM (exposition till 10:00 PM in Pilgrim Hall)

- the Way of the Cross on Good Friday at 11:00 AM, 12:15 PM and 3:00 PM

- the reading of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday at 7:30 PM in the Grotto Chapel

- and then the Great Vigil of Easter begins at 8:00 PM outside the Grotto Chapel where we will have the blessing of the Easter Fire

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the daytime hours. Please call Montfort House to make sure one of the fathers is available when you want to stop by. On Good Friday we will be available throughout the day at the Grotto for anyone who wants to celebrate this wonderful opportunity to share God's healing love in your life.

If you have any other questions, please call the office at 860-567-1041 and we will try our best to help.
