On March 13 Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan led a benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Forest Hills, Queens.
It was the last service of the day at the parish, which included two Masses, stations of the cross, confessions and adoration.
The Brooklyn shepherd gave thanks to the parish for giving pilgrims space to spend time with the Lord, and was pleased to hear how parishioners were filing into the church all day long.
The Forest Hills stop is one of six parishes along the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Lenten Pilgrimage route that is designated a Jubilee shrine church.
If you visit Our Lady Queen of Martyrs or one of the other sites between now and the feast of the Immaculate Conception, as well as meet certain conditions like attending Mass, making the sacrament of reconciliation, and praying for the intentions of the pope, you can receive a plenary indulgence and be free from temporal punishment for your sins.
