Lent is officially halfway through and the Diocese of Brooklyn is now more than halfway through its Lenten pilgrimage.
Dozens have been visiting different churches in Brooklyn and Queens leading up to the Easter Triduum. Monday’s stop actually had a papal connection.
Bishop Robert Brennan celebrated the Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Long Island City, Queens at the very altar Saint John Paul II used when he celebrated Mass at Aqueduct Racetrack in 1995.
After Mass, parishioners then prayed the Stations of the Cross.
