The Diocese of Brooklyn’s Lenten Pilgrimage is helping people prepare spiritually for the Easter holiday.

The faithful are making their last few stops across Brooklyn and Queens, leading up to the Easter Triduum.

On Friday April 11, the students of Resurrection-Ascension Catholic Academy in Queens led the day of prayer as Bishop Brennan celebrated a Mass at the Rego Park parish.

Afterwards, the students went back to class, and the pilgrims continued their program which included adoration,  confession, and recitation of the Rosary.  

The day before, on Thursday April 10, Bishop Robert Brennan led the way to Brooklyn’s Resurrection Church.

The shepherd celebrating morning Mass and praying the Stations of the Cross at the Gerritsen Beach parish. 

The stop had a full schedule following the bishop’s visit, including a noon Angelus, an afternoon of silent Eucharistic Adoration, and an evening benediction.
