Jubilee of Mercy begins

6/12/2015

The Jubilee of Mercy begins in St Henry's Cathedral with a Bishop's Mass at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. On Sunday, December 13, the 11 a.m. High Mass begins with a procession from St John's Lutheran Church in Korkeavuorenkatu (see map below). When we reach the Cathedral, bishop Teemu Sippo SCJ solemnly opens the Door of Mercy, which is the main door of the Cathedral, and the Mass is celebrated there. This means that on December 13 there will be no Mass at 12.30.

More opprotunities for confession

During the Jubilee of Mercy there will be more opportunities for confession in St Henry's Cathedral. From Monday, December 14, there will be a priest in at least on of the confessionals in the Cathedral before every Evening Mass. After each Evening Mass we will also be praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Welcome!

Pilgrimage to Hattula on September 19

18/8/2015

Saturday, September 19, 2015, is the date for this year's traditional pilgrimage to the Medieval Church of the Holy Cross in Hattula. The Church marks the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14, as that is the date when in AD 324 Saint Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine, found the True Cross in Jerusalem, and on the following Saturday the pilgrimate is made in Finland. The Exaltation of the Cross has been celebrated since the 5th century in the Eastern Church and since the 7th Century in the Western Church.

The pilgrimage begins with Mass at St Henry's Cathedral at 9.30 a.m. After the Mass, a bus will leave for Hattula from outside the Cathedral. You can also join the pilgrimage at the bus stop by St Mary's Church (the bus 18 stop).

The celebration of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Hattula begins at 12.30. After participants have paid their respects to the cross and carried it around the church building, the local Lutheran parish of Hattula traditionally serves coffee to the pilgrims. We will be back in Helsinki after 3 p.m.

The return bus fare is €24. To sign up for the pilgrimage and ensure there is room for you in the bus, please contact the Parish Office.

The pilgrimage is arranged by the Lay Dominicans and Academicum Catholicum.
