He has asked bishops to open the Jubilee Year in their local dioceses on the following weekend, December 29, the Feast of the Holy Family.
We'd love to see you again at Holy Mass with Bishop Walkowiak to open the Jubilee Year on Dec. 29 at 3 p.m. All are welcome!
- The liturgy will begin at 3 p.m. in the Catholic Central High School gym (319 Sheldon Blvd. SE, Grand Rapids) where we will gather and process together as pilgrims to the Cathedral of Saint Andrew (301 Sheldon Blvd. SE, Grand Rapids) for Mass. Mass will be livestreamed online on the diocesan website and on YouTube for those who are unable to attend.
Your presence will make these celebrations even more meaningful as we share in the beauty of our faith and the gift of being together. Come home this Christmas!
