General Announcements 

Archabbey to offer Sunday rosary procession pilgrimages in October at Monte Cassino Shrine

In honor of October as the month of the rosary, Saint Meinrad Archabbey is offering a series of pilgrimages in the form of rosary processions at its Our Lady of Monte Cassino Shrine each Sunday in October at 2 p.m. Central Time. Monte Cassino Shrine is located at 13312 Monte Cassino Shrine Road, in St. Meinrad, one mile east Saint Meinrad Archabbey off State Highway 62.

Considered “pilgrimages” in the sense of traveling to a sacred place out of devotion and a desire to grow in holiness, each event will begin with an opening hymn and a short sermon, followed by a rosary procession. The services end with the Litany of the Blessed Virgin and a hymn. Homily presenters and topics for the pilgrimages are:

• Oct. 5: Benedictine Brother Isaac Levering, “Mary, Mother of the Church.”
• Oct. 12: Benedictine Brother Zachary Wilberding, “Our Lady of Hope.”
• Oct. 19: Benedictine Brother Jean Fish, “Mary: A Model for Friendship.”
• Oct. 26: Benedictine Father Michael Reyes, “Behold the Handmaid of the Lord.”

Dedicated in 1870 and completed in 1873, the shrine’s design is based on a picture of an early shrine of Our Lady of Einsiedeln in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, the motherhouse of Saint Meinrad Archabbey. It was named Monte Cassino after the abbey in Italy where St. Benedict lived in the sixth century.

Rosary pilgrimages are offered at Monte Cassino Shrine in May and October, months dedicated to the Blessed Mother.

For more information on the rosary pilgrimages, contact Krista Hall, Saint Meinrad director of communications, at 812-357-6480 or via e-mail at khall@saintmeinrad.edu.
