This Sunday 12th January, at the 11 am Mass, Bishop Brian came to officially inaugurate the Jubilee year at Penrose Park. Bishop Brian Mascord, Bishop of Wollongong, has appointed 5 Churches as official pilgrimage sites during this year of Jubilee, and of course, Penrose Park is one of those five. We would like to greatly thank him for both coming today and giving us this privilege for this year.
Therefore during this year, anyone coming on pilgrimage to the Shrine can gain themselves a Plenary indulgence (full remission of sin and the punishments incurred) by fulfilling the usual requirements: visiting the Shrine, Confession, Mass with Holy Communion and prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father.
This is a great honour for the Shrine and we welcome all our pilgrims to come along and celebrate the Jubilee year. Events will be planned throughout the year so please stay tuned to our website and social media for more information. God bless you all!
