WWPR First Communion Information
First Communions will be celebrated on
Saturday, May 15 at the 4:30 Mass for St. James of the Valley
Radiate Christ through Mary
A Marian pilgrimage begins Sunday, May 16 with a Mass in the Northern area of the Archdiocese. From there, a small group of pilgrims will begin this historic pilgrimage with a special statue of Our Lady of Fatima, blessed by Archbishop Schnurr for this occasion.
The pilgrimage will last for 33 days, making stops at parishes in every deanery of the Archdiocese, and will be highlighted by four cornerstone family events. The pilgrimage will end at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains on the day of the bicentennial, Saturday, June 19. On that day, the Archbishop will re-consecrate the Archdiocese to Jesus through Mary during a special Mass commemorating the bicentennial.
Each of our churches has a limited number of free copies of a self-led Marian consecration pamphlet that will run in conjunction with this special commemorative pilgrimage – please take one!
