St. Maria Goretti comes to the Diocese of Rockville Centre!!!!!
Veneration will be at Holy Name of Jesus Church in Woodbury. This is going to be such an incredible day - a once-in-a-lifetime experience of holiness. Take a few minutes out of your day to experience a little taste of heaven!
Solemn Mass Celebrated in St. Maria's Honor: 11:30am, with music led by Woods Worship!
Public Veneration of St. Maria Goretti will take place from 10:30am to 10:00pm, with the exception of 5:00 to 6:15pm for the Sunday Vigil Mass, and 7:45 to 9:00pm for the Korean Sunday Vigil Mass.
==================================
Below is additional information about the Pilgrimage of Mercy. For an abundance of resources, visit www.mariagoretti.com
From September to November of this year the major relics of St. Maria Goretti will make a pilgrimage to the United States. Named the “Pilgrimage of Mercy,” it is the first time that her body travels to the USA.
While St. Maria is universally known as the Patroness of Purity, her greatest virtue was her unyielding forgiveness of her attacker even in the midst of horrendous physical suffering, a forgiveness that would completely convert him and set him on a path to personal holiness. In March 2015, His Holiness, Pope Francis, announced an Extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy beginning December 8, 2015. This visit of the major relics of St. Maria Goretti is an effort on the part of the Holy See and Treasures of the Church to prepare and catechize the United States for this great celebration in the life of the Church.
