OGDENSBURG — Anyone hurt by the Catholic Church can get spiritual relief at a special Mass of Healing Sunday afternoon at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Ogdensburg.
The Most Rev. Bishop Terry R. LaValley will preside at this Eucharistic celebration, on Divine Mercy Sunday, which acknowledges the pain and grief of victims and their families and apologizes for the misconduct by pastoral leaders or laity.
This is the first time a Mass of Healing has been offered diocesan-wide.
“Last year, the Holy Father declared it to be a Jubilee Year of Mercy,” LaValley said.
