ST. MONICA PARISH

In response to the call of Pope Francis, we are offering the Journey with St. Joseph Pilgrimage commencing on June 19, 2021 and ending on December 7, 2021. The pilgrimage sites will be those churches named for Saint Joseph within the Diocese of Sacramento.
   
Pilgrim Mechanics

1. A Pilgrim’s Prayer Booklet has been designed to prayerfully guide you through your pilgrimage. Download it here: Journey with St. Joseph: Pilgrim's Prayer Booklet
2. Pilgrims may sign a guest book as they enter the pilgrim church. Pilgrims should venerate the Blessed Sacrament and proceed to the statue or image of St. Joseph.
3. The last church to be visited will be the St. Joseph Church nearest your parish, or your own parish named after him.

Guidelines upon Visiting the Pilgrim Churches

1. Pilgrims must pray the Act of Consecration to St. Joseph at the image of St. Joseph or some prescribed prayers for St. Joseph especially the ones in the pilgrim’s prayer booklet.
2. If possible, pilgrims are encouraged to attend the celebration of the Eucharist and/or receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in one of the pilgrim churches.
3. Always follow diocesan-prescribed protocols for COVID-19.
4. Pilgrims are encouraged to bring something for the poor (including non-perishable groceries, food vouchers, visa cards, etc.) to one of the pilgrim churches.
