\nKing of the Universe, Nov. 20, 2016. At St. Peter\u2019s\u00a0Basilica in Rome, a door will be dedicated as the Door of\u00a0Mercy through which pilgrims may enter to embrace\u00a0God\u2019s mercy and to dedicate themselves to being\u00a0merciful.<\/p>\n
Our own St. Francis de Sales Church has been\u00a0selected by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee as a Holy Door\u00a0pilgrimage site. On Sunday, Dec. 13, we will be\u00a0dedicating a Door of Mercy at St. Francis de Sales Church\u00a0at 1:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend!<\/p>\n

The Archdiocese of\u00a0Milwaukee will provide us with prayer booklets for\u00a0pilgrims.<\/p>\n
