Year of Mercy pilgrimages:

Todays Catholic

The three Holy Doors in the diocese 

Throughout the Year of Mercy, a plenary indulgence can be gained by visiting the Doors of Mercy that have been designated at the two cathedrals and at the basilica at Notre Dame. These doors will remain open until Nov. 13, 2016.

Listed below are the hours when the three churches are open during the week, as well as their Mass and Confession times. Contact information is also provided for parishes that may wish to schedule group pilgrimages to a Door of Mercy during the jubilee year. Pilgrim groups are welcome to bring their own confessor if they wish to have Confessions available at special times during their visits.
