If you wish to receive the Icon of Our Lady into your house, please come to the sacristy to agree dates and times and record them in the diary. You can do this after every Mass, or by 'phone.

The Icon of Our Lady begins its visitation in your family at the 10 am. Mass on Sunday till the following Sunday. Your family will collect it by approaching the altar after Holy Communion, and - after the blessing - carry it out in solemn procession with the Celebrant and altar servers. You will also receive a folder with materials the clergy think should be helpful to you during the visitation: the Scriptures, a prayer book and hymnal, a rosary, a novena, and ideas for meditation. There will also be a book which you can write particular prayers and spiritual intentions and another commemorative book where you can record that you have taken part in this celebration.

We suggest that once at home, you set the picture in a prominent place among flowers and candles so that the whole family, and friends, if you like, can gather round after the day's work or schoolwork is done and spend some time in prayer, contemplating on the Word of God, reciting the rosary, singing hymns, or simply meditating quietly. We encourage you to pray every day so that you receive the greatest benefit from this time.

Please return the Icon by bringing it before the 10 am. Mass on the following Sunday, so that the next family may take the picture to their home, and to enable it to continue its journey through the Parish.

The visitation of the miraculous Icon of Our Lady of Jasna Gora is a time of grace, prayer and joy during which we bear witness to our faith and strengthen the unity of our families. In this Icon, Mary presents Jesus to us, and in doing so, shows us the Way, the Truth and the Life. May we all have the courage to follow where she leads us.

Our Lady of Jasna Gora, pray for us.
