Holy Thursday Church Visitation

Dating back centuries, the tradition of The Visiting of Churches on Holy Thursday following the Mass of the Lord's Supper invites the faithful to journey from church to church, symbolizing the disciples' vigil with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. We invite you to partake in this meaningful pilgrimage across the Diocese of Syracuse. Plan your own pilgrimage of churches for the evening, immersing yourself in prayer, contemplation, and reverence as we prepare our hearts for Easter.
