Join the 7-church visits
Posted: Fri., Apr. 11, 2014
Meditations and Prayers brochure for the Seven Church Walk located at bottom of webpage
The tradition of visiting seven churches on Holy Thursday is an ancient practice, probably originating in Rome, where early pilgrims visited the seven major basilicas as penance.
Pope Boniface VIII revived the pilgrimage tradition in 1300 with the establishment of the jubilee year, and Rome became a center for pilgrimages.
The seven areas also may be related to the historical seven deacons of Rome, whose responsibility was to minister to the poor in their region of the city. The first seven deacons in the church were the seven assistants ordained by the apostles to minister to the poor.
The practice in the Diocese of Pittsburgh has continued to be strong, owing in part to the influence of the Holy Name Society, whose members are instrumental in many of the local pilgrimages.
The Diocesan Holy Name Society produces a book of prayers used on the seven-church visitations. A collection of meditations and prayers developed last year will be posted again on the diocesan website (www.diopitt.org). Participants usually do seven Stations of the Cross as part of each visit. In this year's booklet, two prayers are provided for each of the seven stations.
If anyone is interested in joining the Holy Name Society, an application form is in the front of the prayer booklet.
Participation in tours is a local decision on a parish-by-parish basis. To find out if a parish is conducting a tour April 17, or when it is open for visitation, it is best to contact that parish directly.
While not all parishes hold tours, many remain open on Holy Thursday evening, as late as midnight, for visitation.
Following is a partial listing of parishes that will conduct the seven-church visits. A longer list will be available on the diocesan website.
