In Anticipation of the Feast of the Exultation of the Holy Cross:
Blessing with the Relic of the True Cross
followed by Exposition and a
Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart!
Friday, September 12th, 12:00 Mass
Join us for a special opportunity to be blessed with a sliver of the actual cross upon which Our Lord died for our salvation! Our Lady's Center is the humble steward of this relic which is displayed only twice a year, during Lent and on the Feast of the Exultation of the Holy Cross, when we celebrate St. Helena's discovery of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The integrity of the relic inside it's antique reliquary was recently verified by Msgr. Jeremiah Kenney. It is one of a number that were bestowed upon Catholic bishops by the Vatican early last century.
After Exposition, join us in praying a Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart. These vocal prayers offer thanksgiving and reparation to the Blessed Trinity and especially our Savior, in union with the Blessed Mother, and all the saints for unity in the Church, for the conversion of sinners, and for a just and lasting peace in the world. Booklets provided.
