All Diocesan Articles

On May 13th, Bishop Reidy led over a hundred diocesan pilgrims to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA. Together, we enjoyed a beautiful, spiritual day with Our Lord and our Blessed Mother! A Marian priest, Father Bob, celebrating his 20th anniversary began our day with a Divine Mercy reflection. Following a delicious group lunch, four priests and Bishop Reidy offered Confessions while a Rosary was being prayed before our Eucharistic Lord. Our spiritual program continued with The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered by our Shepherd. Bishop Reidy gave an excellent homily on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima that also included connections with the Marians of the Immaculate Conception and their history of spreading the Divine Mercy message and Marian devotion throughout the world. After praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and venerating the relics of St. Faustina, we headed home full of joy to share the graces we received. Our next diocesan pilgrimage with Bishop Reidy will be to the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs and the National Shrine of St. Kateri in upstate New York, on her feast day, July 14th. Hope you might be able to join us on our next special day with Our Lord and His Saints!
