They call it Crossover Services, going from 2025 to 2026: Adoration, Reconciliation, Rosary Procession, Mass & Holy Communion. We finished the procession at the Lourdes Grotto (with a picture of Cathy to the right of the statue of Mary. ) Sacred Heart church was packed. Standing room only. We finished in a little over five hours, around 1 am. I was blessed to receive Holy Communion 30 weeks to the minute since Cathy died. Happy New Year’s.
Thank you. FYI. The church keeps a picture of “their Saint” under the tabernacle.
This is so awesome , Thanks for sharing
Tom, what a wonderful ceremony. I can not imagine 5 hours. That is so beautiful. I know this was not easy for you- going back but the people love you and Cathy is their saint. She has such an awesome legacy. Let that be your comfort.
Happy New Year. Peace, Rosie and Douglas
That looks like the perfect way for you to crossover to 2026. I know you felt Cathy’s presence with you when you were there. So special that they honor all that you both have done in their community. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Rene
