On Holy Thursday, people throughout our Diocese enter into this pilgrimage of remaining with Jesus in the garden. The 7 Churches Pilgrimage is an opportunity to connect with a venerated tradition of the Church in a new way! Created by the Office of Youth, Campus, and Young Adult Ministries, this pilgrimage weaves together passages from all four Gospels to take you through the narrative of Jesus’ time in the Garden of Gethsemane.

The resources will be available here for digital download to assist your time in prayer on the evening of Holy Thursday. We’ve worked with over 45 parishes to list the locations of their altar of repose. We have also created 7 suggested pilgrimage routes and created an interactive Google Map which you can access from the guide to make travel easy. All you need to do is select the route you want to go on, find some friends, download the guide and enjoy your time of pilgrimage
