The Holy Thursday Church tour is a mini-pilgrimage symbolic of the ancient practice of visiting the seven basilicas of Rome as an act of penance. The goal is to spend a few minutes in each church, praying before the Blessed Sacrament, and keeping vigil on the night that Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane before his arrest, asking his disciples to stay awake with him.
On Holy Thursday, April 6th a bus will leave from Assumption immediately following the 7:00 pm Mass of the Lord's Supper. Due to time contraints, our pilgrimage will include a brief visit to five local churches, St. Alexis, St. Alphonsus, St. Theresa of Avila, St. Sebastian and St. Athanasius churches, all located in the North Hills area.
Call the rectory at (412) 766-6660 to make a reservation or for more details. The cost is $10 per person.
Seating is limited.
