Walking with the Saints: A Sacred Heart Pilgrimage with St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Honor the month of the Sacred Heart with a pilgrimage! Join us at the Church of St. Margaret Mary (Golden Valley) and ask for her prayers to draw you closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as we embody that spiritual drawing-near with a walk to the Church of the Sacred Heart (Robbinsdale).

Who: All are welcome. All youth (under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an adult.

What: A 3.5-mile walking pilgrimage

Where: From the Church of St. Margaret Mary (2323 Zenith Ave. North, Golden Valley, MN 55422) to the Church of the Sacred Heart (4087 West Broadway Ave., Robbinsdale, MN 55422)

Why: To grow in our devotion to the Sacred Heart

When: Saturday, June 8. Pilgrimage begins with opening prayers at 9 AM. We will reach our destination around 10:30 AM. After closing in prayer and offering up your intentions, all are invited to join for casual lunch and fellowship at The Birdhouse Eat & Drink (a four minute walk from Sacred Heart).

How: In the interest of simplicity and keeping this a regular, free opportunity for embodied prayer and fellowship, transportation is not provided for this pilgrimage. We recommend: (a) arranging with someone else to drop you off and/or pick you up on either end; (b) recruiting a friend to join you and dropping one car at the end before 9, then driving together to the start; (c) being prepared to ride share or take public transportation back to the start; or (d) walking back.

If you’d like to participate in the sacraments prior to the pilgrimage with plenty of time to make it to the start on time, Sacred Heart has daily Mass at 8 AM with Confessions available before, from 7:40-7:55 am (enter at door #8 off the W. Broadway parking lot and go to the Sacred Heart chapel/cry room confessional).
