Bishop Earl Fernandes of Columbus will join Bishops Daniel Thomas of Toledo and Edward Malesic of Cleveland and Auxiliary Bishop Michael Woost of Cleveland in celebrating Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey on Wednesday, Aug. 14, the Vigil of the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary.
A candlelight rosary procession will begin at 9 p.m., with the statue of Our Lady of Consolation being taken from the shrine’s basilica to its outdoor park, where the Mass will take place.
Carey is about 80 miles from downtown Columbus, a 90-minute drive on U.S. 23 North, and has traditionally been a place of pilgrimage for central Ohio Catholics.
The Catholic bishops of Ohio also invite the faithful to join in praying a novena in honor of Our Lady of Consolation from Tuesday, Aug. 6 to Aug. 14.
