Many Thanks!
Holy Week and Easter was a busy and grace-filled time at Mother Cabrini Shrine. Fr. John Lager, O.F.M., Cap. celebrated each of the services and also gave a discernment retreat to eight young men, student friars and postulants who also participated in the holy days. The Sisters, staff and countless visitors, pilgrims and friends of the Shrine participated in the Triduum. Holy Thursday began with a Seder Meal for staff and retreatants followed by the Holy Thursday Liturgy which included the washing of feet of 12 and the hands of all in attendance. On Good Friday there was a Reflection on the Seven Last Words Jesus spoke from the cross followed by the Liturgy of the Passion and the veneration of the cross. The Easter Vigil was celebrated on Holy Saturday with the blessing of fire and water and Easter Sunday Masses were celebrated with crowds overflowing out of the chapel and surrounding area. While it was a busy time at the Shrine, it was also a very blessed time.
Thank you to everyone for who participated in our Holy Week and Easter services and for your presence and contributions. The Mass intentions for Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday were offered for all the benefactors and volunteers of the Shrine. God bless you with Easter joy!
