We are excited for this year’s annual Assumption Novena as we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the arrival of the Statue of Our Lady of Consolation and the 2025 Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope.
We look forward to welcoming all pilgrims—those who have been here before and those who are coming for the first time. May your time here be greatly blessed by Our Lord and Lady!
