PILGRIM VISITS TO SEVEN CATHOLIC
CHURCHES IN ULSTER COUNTY
A recommended practice for Lent is to go on a
pilgrimage. A Pilgrim Pamphlet Guide will be made
available on the Fifth Sunday of Lent and Palm Sunday
for those who wish to participate in the venerable
custom of ‘visiting seven churches’ on Maundy (Holy)
Thursday, April 13, 2017. The evening Mass time at
each church, location of Altar of Repose, and closing
time are listed in the pamphlet. Also included in the
pamphlet are Pope Francis’ intentions for April, and
suggested verses to be prayed at each stop. Participants
in the pilgrimage normally set out after attending the
evening Mass of The Lord’s Supper at their home
parish; they continue on the self-directed pilgrimage to
visit six more decorated Altars of Repose. Note that a
Pilgrim Guide for visits to churches in Dutchess County
is also available this year.
