Pilgrimage to Mother Cabrini Shrine
-
Our parish embarked on a meaningful visit to the shrine of Saint Cabrini. Upon arrival, Fr. Kevin celebrated Holy Mass, highlighting the key moments in Mother Cabrini’s life during his homily, inspiring us with her deep faith and dedication. Afterward, we continued to The Met Cloisters, where I had the privilege of leading a guided tour through the museum’s rich history. We focused on the cloisters, the main areas, and the renowned Unicorn Tapestries, where art and spirituality blend beautifully in an atmosphere of reverence.
The museum at The Met Cloisters is an extraordinary space, carefully designed to capture the sacred ambiance of medieval Europe. Its architecture, with soaring arches and intricate carvings, invites reflection and a sense of wonder. The Unicorn Tapestries, in particular, captivate with their exquisite details and symbolic representations, evoking themes of purity, mystery, and faith. Together with historic religious art, including altarpieces and stained glass, the museum offers a serene place to connect with centuries-old traditions, enriching our parish’s spiritual journey as we prepare for the Jubilee.
