St. Gianna Shrine
Guess what I'm doing tomorrow?? I'm heading north to visit the St. Gianna Shrine in PA! It's only about an hour and a half drive for me, but I've been meaning to go for months. So with my surgery on Tuesday, I'm finally making it work! I was thrilled when I found out it was so close to me. Anyone in the Philadelphia area want to join me??? Their Saturday pilgrimage hours are between 3:30-5pm.

ReplyDeleteI can't tomorrow, but thanks for posting ~ I did not know about this. Have a wonderful and blessed visit.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteSO cool! Pray for us!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I think 2 bloggers made the trip there a couple of years ago and I still remember the pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I could go! It is near where I grew up. I think several bloggers have been before, so when you go ask for Angela- the woman in charge....she is super sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh shoot, I would have made plans to join you if I had known sooner!
ReplyDeleteDo you want to go again on her Feast Day, for the Feast Day Mass? I'll definately be going then :)
Such a wonderful idea!!! My DH and I live about 45minute from there and I can not believe I have never been! Thanks for posting the hours. We are not sure what time we are going to end up b/c of a previous appt. But I think it is a great idea considering our surgeries this week!!! Thanks for your post!!!!
ReplyDeleteGrace - thanks for the info! I'll ask for Angela!
ReplyDeleteTCIE & SRR - Let's do it!! We should plan a trip there on April 28th for the feast day mass! Let's plan a little bloggie pilgrimage!
Would have loved to join you - with more notice. ;-) We are sick at home right now. Marking my calendar for a bloggy date on April 28th. I really have no excuses because it is pretty close to me as well. How was it?
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm so sorry I didn't give more notice. It just dawned on me yesterday to even blog about it!
ReplyDeleteIT WAS AMAZING!! The statue itself is pretty small, but just being there and touching her glove was awesome. And I was able to get some prayer cards that touched her glove and are considered 2nd class relics!
Definitely mark your calendars! I'm going to post about it. April 28 - all are invited!
