The Fathers of Mercy will preach three back-to-back missions in November at parishes in Huntersville, Kernersville and Arden, as part of the Diocese of Charlotte’s Year of St. Joseph commemorations, and each of the three four-night missions will be streamed live online to allow more people from across the diocese to participate despite pandemic restrictions.
The first Year of St. Joseph Mission, led by Mercy Father Joseph Aytona, will be held Monday, Nov. 2, through Thursday, Nov. 5, at St. Mark Church in Huntersville. The second mission, led by Mercy Father Ricardo Pineda, will be held Monday, Nov. 9, through Thursday, Nov. 12, at Holy Cross Church in Kernersville. The third mission, led by Father Pineda, will be held Monday, Nov. 16, through Thursday, Nov. 19, at St. Barnabas Church in Arden.
Missions will begin each evening at 6 p.m. with Eucharistic Adoration and confessions until 7 p.m. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be prayed each evening at approximately 6:45 p.m. The missions will be held in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament from 7 to 8 p.m. and end with Benediction.
