Monte Cassino Shrine to hold five May pilgrimages honoring Blessed Mother
The Archdiocese of Louisville announced on Apr. 20 that five pilgrimages will take place at the Monte Cassino Shrine in Saint Meinrad, Indiana, on Sundays throughout May to honor the Blessed Mother.
These pilgrimages are intended to foster Catholic spiritual development and community outreach, as well as provide opportunities for worship and reflection. The events are open to the public and will begin each Sunday at 2 p.m. Central Daylight Time.
Each pilgrimage service will start with an opening hymn and a short sermon, followed by a rosary procession. The services conclude with the Litany of the Blessed Virgin and a hymn. Benedictine Brothers from St. Meinrad Archabbey will deliver most of the sermons during these events.
