Please join Bishop Mark Bartosic and the Viciariate II parishes for a 9 day novena for healing and atonement addressing the issue of clergy sexual abuse. This novena will be held at the 9 churches below. All of them will be at 7pm except for The National Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, that Sunday will be held at 11am.
Through prayers and reflection of the Holy Spirit within our church, we will pray for healing and peace for our victims, their abusers, and our Catholic churches. Join in this opportunity to walk together in the Spirit toward reparation, forgiveness and healing.
As with our new normalcy, and for contact tracing, please sign up with each church and reserve your seat. Please bring a friend or come alone, whichever way you decide, reserve a spot.
