Join the Catholic Lawyers Guild and the ministries of Holy Name Cathedral, including the Padre Pio Prayer Group, for a special Pilgrimage to the Shrine of All Saints at St. Martha of Bethany in Morton Grove, Illinois. This meaningful spiritual outing offers participants the opportunity to learn about and venerate sacred relics while sharing fellowship with members of the Cathedral community.
The pilgrimage will begin with optional bus transportation departing from Holy Name Cathedral at 11:00 a.m. (participants taking the bus should arrive by 10:45 a.m.). We will arrive at the Shrine at 12:00 p.m., when the Shrine opens for our group.
The visit will begin with a presentation by Father Dennis, the Shrine’s administrator, who will provide a fascinating introduction to the history and significance of holy relics in the Catholic tradition. Following the talk, participants will be divided into small groups led by knowledgeable docents for a guided tour of some of the Shrine’s most notable relics. After the tour, there will be time for personal reflection and veneration.
The afternoon will conclude with light refreshments and fellowship in the Shrine cafeteria, as well as an opportunity to visit the gift shop before returning to Holy Name Cathedral. The bus is expected to depart the Shrine at 3:00 p.m.
Participants may either take the group bus or arrange their own transportation, but all attendees must register so organizers can plan accordingly.
Registration is required for all attendees.
Bus Package ($47): Includes round-trip transportation and a $10 Shrine donation.
