LIVE BROADCAST OF PAPAL MASS ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27^TH  AT 4 PM IN CORPUS CHRISTI CHURCH–

The Knights of Columbus Council #9715 invites our parish and community to join together in Corpus Christi Church on Sunday, September 27th at 4 PM to view the live broadcast on Large Video Screens of Pope Francis’ celebration of the Closing Mass for the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia.

There is no cost to attend this event in the Church. However, “good will donations” will be accepted to offset the cost of the equipment rental.

 

Pope Francis proclaimed a Holy Year of Mercy beginning this December 8, 2015 and continuing to November 20, 2016. To mark the solemn occasion of this Jubilee Year, the Vatican, in conjunction with the Congregation of the Causes of Saints has announced the extraordinary pilgrimage of the bodily remains of Saint Maria Goretti.

…
The glass and gold reliquary containing her body will leave her shrine in Nettuno, Italy and begin the Pilgrimage of Mercy Tour in the United States of America this September.

This is the first time that Saint Maria Goretti’s body will travel to the United States and only the second time that she has left Italy.

Saint Maria Goretti Church in Hatfield will be the second stop on the tour and will host the body of their parish patroness and our “Little Saint of Great Mercy” on Tuesday, September 22, 2015.

Public veneration will begin at 12:00 PM.
Solemn Mass in honor of Saint Maria Goretti will be celebrated at 7:00 PM.
When Mass concludes, public veneration will continue until 11:00 PM.

On Wednesday and Thursday of that week, Saint Maria’s relics will travel to the Saint Rita Shrine and Saint John the Evangelist Church in Philadelphia so that those attending the World Meeting of Families may venerate her, as well.
