The Diocese of Syracuse invites you to a special one-day Jubilee Pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Mass., nestled in the breathtaking Berkshire Hills on the sacred ground of Eden Hill. This peaceful 375-acre site offers pilgrims the chance to encounter God’s mercy through prayer, beauty, and reflection.
The pilgrimage will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27 and there are two registration options available.
• Option 1: $75 – includes coach bus transportation to and from the Shrine, a snack and water, bring your own lunch
• Option 2: Free – drive on your own to the shrine, bring your own lunch
Registration is required so that we can provide the shrine with an accurate head count for Mass. Pilgrimage will depart rain or shine. Bus spaces are limited. Once spaces are filled, interested persons will be placed on a waiting list.
Take this opportunity to grow in faith, receive God’s mercy, and share in a powerful day of pilgrimage with others from across the Diocese.
