Group Pilgrimage & Retreats
Preparing Your Pilgrimage Group
We greatly appreciate advanced notice of groups over 15 people.
To celebrate Mass, all priests outside the Diocese of St. Augustine must have a Letter of Good Standing submitted to and approved by our Chancellor’s office PRIOR to celebrating Mass. Monday-Saturday we will not schedule groups after 3:30pm and on Sundays no groups after 3pm for Masses. We will be able to supply visiting priests a Mass kit and we recommend priests bring their own vestments. Please let us know if you require our assistance suppling any of these items or if you are providing your own Mass kit or if a sacristan is required. There is a suggested donation of $100 for these Masses.
Looking for a private gathering place? The Pilgrim Center & Pavilion, located on the ‘Sacred Acre’, can serve as a great meeting space for your school, parish, or ministry group. This facility can be rented for a half or full day and can accommodate groups of less than 100 people (during our hours of operation).
Please complete the ‘event request’ form and our pilgrimage coordinator will be in contact with you. If you have any questions, contact 904-439-7253 or email pilgrimages@missionandshrine.org
