Triduum of Mercy

The Holy Year of Mercy

"The Church, in this time of great historical change, is called to offer more evident signs of God's presence and closeness...This is the time for the Church to rediscover the meaning of the mission entrusted to her by the Lord; to be a sign and an instrument of the Father's mercy."

Pope Francis

Announcing a Triduum of Mercy

At the Church of Saint George, in Titusville.

As we begin the Holy Year of Mercy and the Advent Season, you are invited to spend some time prayerfully reflecting on God's mercy and love. The program will be open-ended, beginning with the recitation of the Litany of Mercy followed by a presentation by Fr. Vince Gartland, exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Benediction, and an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the chance to spend some quiet personal time with the Lord.

These three Days of Mercy will be offered twice daily:

The formal part of each evening should run about one hour to one hour and thirty minutes. The remainder of the time will be for personal prayer, reflection, and reconciliation; folks should feel free to leave anytime during that period.

Come and bring a friend. For more information, call the church at 737-2015 All are welcome!

We will look at the mystery of human suffering and the Mercy of God that is present in the midst of suffering.
