While school may be out, Church is always in session! Thanks be to God, He never takes a break from us, nor should we take a break from Him. And, thanks be to God, He always presents us with creative ways in which we can grow in our faith, deepen our understanding of how He’s working in our lives, and strengthen our spiritual muscles.
Over the course of the past couple of months, amid our own spiritual renewal in the Archdiocese, we’ve mentioned the Eucharistic Revival underway across the United States, and the upcoming Eucharistic Pilgrimage that will travel through our area in late June.
Here are some suggestions for something spiritually powerful to do with your loved ones:
- Bring your family to the event at Mundelein Seminary on Wednesday, June 26 from 4-7:00 p.m. This gathering will be especially focused on our youth (teens) with the celebration of Mass followed by testimonies from young adult pilgrims, Adoration, and Eucharistic Procession.
- Attend a multilingual event at the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish flyer) on Thursday, June 27 and/or attend one of our cultural events on Friday, June 28, when there will be special Masses and evening testimonies and adoration hosted by Asian Catholic Initiative, Black Catholic Initiative, Consejo Hispano, and Polonia
- On Saturday, June 29, our Morning of Adoration and Service, there will be many opportunities at parishes across the Archdiocese, as well as the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels, followed by special evening Masses, witness talks and adoration at six locations around Cook and Lake Counties. Our own Vicariate VI Vigil Mass and Eucharistic Adoration will take place at 7:00 p.m. at St. Augustine Parish, 4130 W. 147th Street, Midlothian.
- Or attend the Sunday Mass and Eucharistic Procession with Cardinal Cupich at Holy Name Cathedral on Sunday, June 30.
There are so many ways to be a part of the Pilgrimage across those 4-1/2 days!
