11:00 a.m. Private Mass celebrated by Father Patrick ( Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel on the Lower Level of the Shrine ) followed by praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet
11:45 a.m. Rosary prayed in the Crypt Church (Lower Level of the Shrine) before the regular Shrine Mass at 12:10 p.m. in the Crypt Church
1:00 p.m. Stations of the Cross in the Cyrpt Church ( immediately following Mass)
1:45 p.m. (approximately) Meet back in Cafeteria. Departure for lunch at The Dubliner. Traditionally, clergy and drivers have lunch covered by the rest of the group. Please bring cash to pay your pro-rata share to the person who puts the bill on his credit card. We are usually in the $30-$40 range per person (usually closer to $30 and usually my credit card )
We depart for return to St. Bridget immediately following lunch and are back by 5:30-6:00 p.m. depending on traffic. Express lanes are open southbound on Saturdays as I recall, so bring or borrow an EZ-Pass if you’re going to be a driver.
If you can drive if needed ( depending on attendance ) please contact Mike at ckoz654@aol.com and include your mobile number so we don’t lose you during the day😀. It is my understanding that our St. Edward’s brothers will be meeting us up at the Shrine.
