Joing Archbishop Sartain as he leads a Holy Thursday Pilgrimage to five Seattle Area Churches.
Where and When
Begin your Holy Triduum with a Eucharastric centered pilgrimage let by Archbishop Sartain. The pilgrimage begins immediately after the 6:00 pm Mass of the Lord’s Supper at St. James Cathedral. We will walk around 5 miles to some of Seattle’s Catholic Churches and spend time at each Church in prayer with your fellow young adults. This is a walking pilgrimage of 5-6 miles with stops at five Seattle area churches. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes!
Parishes to be visited:
- St. James Cathedral
- Immaculate Conception Church
- Holy Names Academy Chapel
- St. Joseph Church
- St. Ignatius Chapel
Those wishing to join mid-pilgrimage after their parish’s Holy Thursday liturgy we will be checking in at various places. Please contact Bridget Harris at bridget.harris@seattlearch.org if you plan to join midway through, so we can provide you information.
Parking
Parking is available on the street, in the O’Dea lot or in the parking garage on the corner of Marion and 9th, just North of the Cathedral. These will all be accessible when we return from the walk. Please avoid parking in private garages or move your car to one of the other areas prior to our departure to ensure you have access to it, when we return.
History of the Pilgrimage
This pilgrimage is based off the ancient practice credited to St. Philip Neri, and begin in Rome when early pilgrims visited the seven major basilicas as penace. Catholics in many parts of the world – especially in Poland, Italy, the Philippines and Mexico – visit seven churchs on Holy Thursday following the Mass of the Lord’s Supper.
Transportation and Housing
Transportation is not provided to, from or during the pilgrimage, but groups or individuals are welcome to join us at any Church, as they are able. We have arranged for security and traffic control to allow our group ease in passing through streets.
A free housing option is available for those traveling a distance to this event. Please contact Bridget (bridget.harris@seattlearch.org) for information.
