The doors pictured above belong to the church which is the next stop on our Seven-Church Pilgrimage on Holy Thursday, April 5 following the 6:30 PM Mass. This church was erected and dedicated by Bishop Dearden in response to the growing population of Catholics in this area. Glass doors were installed in 2002. Each door contains an etched picture with a symbolic meaning. On the front doors are pictured two Apostles. At each entrance to the church are more doors such as these, depicting other aspects of the Faith. The church can now accommodate up to 1,000 people, as it was expanded from its original capacity of only 300. A new “tracker” organ was recently added. Tracker action is a term used in reference to pipe organs, indicating a mechanical linkage between keys or pedals pressed by the organist and the valve that allows air to flow into the pipes of the corresponding note.
Reservations are now being taken for this pilgrimage of faith. A donation of $5 is asked. You may drop an envelope marked “7 Church Pilgrimage” in the collection basket or mail to the rectory.
