The Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio, will host two special Masses in October.  The first Mass is on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 7 pm for Hope and Healing.  This Mass is for cancer victims, survivors and their loved ones. Since October is known as breast cancer awareness month, we especially pray for those with this disease.

The Shrine staff realizes many people are touched by this disease and would like to provide prayers and a time for support and comfort for the victims and their family and friends.

Following the Mass, visitors will be invited to participate in special prayers for healing.

Then on Sunday, October 16 (Feast of St. Gerard Majella) at 12:00 pm there will be a Mass for those who are expecting a child or trying to have one.  St. Gerard is the patron saint of motherhood. 

Both of these prayer opportunities are open to the public and all are invited to come and pray on their journey to faith, hope and healing.
