Event or News information: During
the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis invites us to contemplate the notion of a Holy
Door, “a Door of Mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love
of God who consoles, pardons, and instills hope.” Rosary High School's Parent’s Auxiliary Prayer group is planning a pilgrimage to the one of the eight of the Holy Doors designated by the Rockford Diocese. We will meet in the parking lot of Rosary High School, Monday, February 8, 2016; 9:15 a.m. and continue on to Our Lady of Good Counsel, Aurora.
Transportation is by car pool, caravan, or on your own. Prayers and tour of the church is about an hour. Afterward, the group will meet for fellowship at Chili’s Restaurant, 1290 N. Orchard Road, Aurora.
RSVP by February 1 and let us know if you plan to join us at the church, for lunch, or for both at rosaryprayergroup@yahoo.com.
One may obtain a plenary indulgence under these usual conditions: 1) you must be in a state of grace when walking through the Holy Door, 2) confession and 3) Holy Communion within a week of the act of walking through the Holy Doors, 4) praying an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for the pope’s intentions, 5) being free from an attachment to sin, and 6) performing the act of walking through the Holy Doors. You are able to obtain one plenary indulgence per day for yourself or for the dead, never for another living person.
You are invited to make a diocesan Pilgrimage of Mercy by visiting and passing through each of the Holy Doors in the Rockford Diocese. To commemorate your pilgrimage and encourage ongoing prayer for Mercy, you are invited to take along a “Year of Mercy Passport” (supplied at church or available online) and have it stamped at each Holy Door parish.
Date: Feb 8.
Start Time: 09:15 am
