Healing Mass
Our second Hope & Healing Mass of 2026 is on Saturday, May 2 at 11:00am. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be celebrated within Mass. Those who are in need of anointing (https://olcshrine.com/healing-masses/#healing-conditions) are invited to come forward to receive the Sacrament. All present are welcome to receive a blessing with the Relic of the True Cross following Mass. The Knights of Columbus is serving lunch is being served in the Shrine Cafeteria from 11:30-1:30. A donation of $8 is suggested. With the Year of Saint Francis proclaimed by Pope Leo XIV, all those who come to the basilica in the manner of a pilgrimage, participate in Mass or recite the Our Father and Creed and invoke Our Lady, Saint Francis, and the Franciscan Saints may obtain a plenary indulgence. The usual conditions—complete detachment from sin, sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, and prayers for the Pope's intention—must also be fulfilled.
