DetailsOn Sunday, November 2, join the Women’s Club as we make a day pilgrimage to the Locust Grove Cemetery, the Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Church of the Purification) and Heritage Retreat Center in Crawfordville.
In celebration of All Souls Day, the annual All Souls Day Mass will be held in the Locust Grove Cemetery, the oldest Catholic cemetery in Georgia. There we will pray for our deceased ancestors and remember the sacrifices they made to keep the Catholic faith alive. Following the Mass, a picnic lunch will be served at the Retreat Center at Heritage. There will be sufficient time to walk the beautiful and inspiring property before heading back to Atlanta.
Want a Plenary Indulgence?
In addition to Mass and lunch, we will schedule time to visit The Church of the Purification which has been designated a pilgrimage site for Jubilee 2025: Pilgrims of Hope. All are invited to walk through the “Pilgrim Doors” as part of the requisite for gaining a plenary indulgence satisfying the ordinary requirements of the Church.
