Now in our 25th Year, Shining On… & consecrated to Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, The Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii is a place to pray for peace that embraces all people of faith. A center of hospitality and spiritual growth, the Shrine’s ministry is one of spiritual assistance and ser-vice where all might experience inspirational moments of prayer, comfort and contemplation. Located on Chicago’s Near West Side, the Shrine is a gift of the Italian-American community to the Archdiocese of Chicago. Our mission is to dedicate our resources to healing, prayer and pilgrimage.

Sunday, May 5 after both Masses

(Details on page 5)

T he term shrine signifies a church or other sacred place to which the faithful make

pilgrimages for a particular pious reason with the approval of the local ordinary. At shrines, more abundant means of salvation are to be provided for the faithful; the Word of God is to be carefully proclaimed; liturgical life is to be appropriately fostered especially through the celebration of the Eucharist and penance; and approved forms of popular piety are to be cultivated.

Moving on With Grace

A Spiritual Journey for Men and Women Grieving the Death of a Spouse Saturday, June 1 * 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. * 8:30 a.m. Check-In, Coffee

* Excellent presentation, Amy gave hope for the future.

* Thank you! So much made sense and good to hear. I am doing positives for myself.

* Was surprised with the dance interpretation. Spiritual dance is used too infrequently in Catholic Church services.

* Very helpful, not alone in grief experiences.

* Pleasantly surprised. This was a wonderful experience.

After the unthinkable has happened, how do you go on? Finding peace and healing after the death of a spouse can seem impossible. Come learn what this kind of grief looks like, explore where to find God in the midst of it, and gain tips and skills for coping, healing, and embracing new life. It is possible to once again know happiness and live with a full heart.
