Become a Mary’s Sons Helper for the Kneeler Pilgrimage



Would you like to become a Mary’s Sons Helper?


Each year, we take the kneelers to approximately 40 parishes in the Charlotte Diocese from September through June. It is truly a wonderful “prayer pilgrimage” to ensure our priests are covered in prayer by the laity during the months leading up to their ordination!

The kneelers typically stay in a parish for one week. We rely on volunteers to help us with coordinating the delivery, pickup and transportation of the kneelers (usually done on Monday  mornings or Sunday after the last Mass) from one location to the next.
