Marian Pilgrimage


​Celebrate the Bicentennial of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati at St. Gertrude by participating in the longest Marian Procession in the United States.​

What is the Bicentennial Marian Pilgrimage?

​The pilgrimage begins Sunday, May 16, 2021 with a Mass at the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Russells Point in the Northern area of the Archdiocese.

From there, a small group of pilgrims will begin this historic pilgrimage with a special statue of Our Lady of Fatima, blessed by Archbishop Schnurr for this occasion.

The pilgrimage will last for 33 days, making stops at parishes in every deanery of the Archdiocese, and will be highlighted by four cornerstone family events.

The pilgrimage will end at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains on the day of the bicentennial, Saturday, June 19, 2021. On that day, the Archbishop will re-consecrate the Archdiocese to Jesus through Mary during a special Mass commemorating the bicentennial.​

Check out the LIVE tracker to locate the Fatima statue
​as the pilgrimage continues across the Archdiocese.
