General Announcements 

Archabbey to offer Sunday rosary procession pilgrimages in October at Our Lady of Monte Cassino Shrine

Saint Meinrad Archabbey is offering several pilgrimage opportunities in the form of rosary processions at its Our Lady of Monte Cassino Shrine each Sunday in October at 2 p.m. Central Time. Monte Cassino Shrine is located at 13312 Monte Cassino Shrine Road in St. Meinrad, one mile east of the Archabbey off State Highway 62.

Considered “pilgrimages” in the sense of traveling to a sacred place out of devotion and a desire to grow in holiness, each event will begin with an opening hymn and a short sermon, followed by a rosary procession. The services end with the Litany of the Blessed Virgin and a hymn. Homily presenters and topics for the pilgrimages are:

  • Oct. 6: Benedictine Brother Jude Angel Romero Olivas, “Mark 10: 2-16.”
  • Oct. 13: Benedictine Father Joseph Cox, “The Blessed Virgin Mary–Our Queen.”
  • Oct. 20: Benedictine Archabbot Kurt Stasiak, “Mary the Teacher: Lessons from a Mother.”
  • Oct. 27: Benedictine Brother Jean Fish, “Mary the Comforter: in anticipation of All Souls’ Day.”

Dedicated in 1870 and completed in 1873, the shrine’s design is based on a picture of an early shrine of Our Lady of Einsiedeln Abbey in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, the motherhouse of Saint Meinrad Archabbey. It was named Monte Cassino after the abbey in Italy where St. Benedict lived in the sixth century.

Rosary pilgrimages are offered at Monte Cassino Shrine in May and October, months dedicated to the Blessed Mother.

For more information on the rosary pilgrimages, contact Krista Hall, Saint Meinrad director of communications, at 812-357-6480 or via e-mail at khall@saintmeinrad.edu.

 

Father Jerry Byrd’s vocations story to be featured on EWTN’s ‘The Journey Home’

Father Jerry Byrd, pastor of St. Mary Parish in North Vernon and St. Ann and St. Joseph parishes, both in Jennings County, will appear on EWTN’s “The Journey Home” with Marcus Grodi  at 8 p.m. EST on Oct. 7.

A convert to the faith, Father Byrd was ordained a priest in 2012. When he attended his first Mass as a Protestant, he knew he wanted to receive the Eucharist.

“I knew that was Jesus,” he said.

However, he didn’t fully understand this and went to a parish priest, who told him he couldn’t receive Communion until he became Catholic.

This encounter with Christ in the Eucharist led Father Byrd into the Church. He thought his journey would end there, and he would marry his then-girlfriend. But God had other plans. 

Father Byrd discusses all this on “The Journey Home.”
