Dear Brothers and Sisters, we are in the Jubilee Year as Pilgrims of Hope. Our Bishop has declared our Parish as the National Shrine for the Jubilee Year. You are encouraged to make your pilgrimage here, making a pilgrimage journey from the grotto to the Church and then to the Basement Hall for the Jubilee Exhibition.
You can obtain the Plenary Indulgence for yourself or for a departed soul. How to receive the Plenary Indulgence is explained in the Pilgrimage Booklet – the booklet will be available in 10 to 15 days’ time.
As you see around the Church a lot of work is going on, especially for the Jubilee Pilgrimage Prayer stations. We humbly request your kind support to accomplish the work. You may give your contributions in the Parish office or with the Priests of the Parish.
As part of our Jubilee Celebration, we have 24 hours with the Lord in the main Parish Hall, today until tomorrow morning 5:30 am. The Lord is inviting us to spend time with him, saying; “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Let us take time to be with Lord. The time for different communities and prayer groups to pray has been displayed on the notice board. Please note those who will be spending time with the Lord in the night, please use the Wadi Gate.
