Jubilee Pilgrimage to Visitation Monastery

Brooklyn Visitation Monastery Celebrates a Jubilee Year October 16, 2019-October 17, 2020 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the canonization of St. Margaret Mary!

During this special year, the grace of a plenary indulgence will be granted to all those who pass through the doors of the Brooklyn Visitation Monastery Sacred Heart Chapel.

This will allow you, as faithful laity to intimately experience the love of the Heart of Jesus, and to render him “love for love” according to the desire that he himself had expressed to Saint Margaret Mary.

The Salesian scholar Fr. Thomas Dailey has said,

“An indulgence affords the penitent person an opportunity to counteract the injurious and residual effects of sin.

The tradition of granting them builds on the inexhaustible merits of Christ’s own work of salvation, which he bestowed upon the apostles in the power of ‘binding and loosing’ sins [Matt 16:19; 18:18].”

To receive the plenary indulgence, you must:

1) Be in a state of grace;

2) Go to Confession and receive Holy Communion within twenty days preceding or following the visit; and

3) Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.

Pilgrimage dates: Come to Mass here at the Brooklyn Visitation Monastery, 8902 Ridge Blvd., Brooklyn, NY, on the below pilgrimage days or to Adoration on the First Fridays of each month (1:30 – 5:30PM). Mass times will be announced in advance of these pilgrimage dates.
