Wellington decides not to close its door of mercy

Friday, November 18th, 2016

The archdiocese of Wellington is marking the end of the year of mercy with a mass at the Cathedral at 7:30 on Sunday 20 November.

But they are not closing their holy door:

“Here in the Archdiocese our glass Doors of Mercy, will in fact, remain open. These doors will continue to remind all who enter the Cathedral that the Lord desires the doors to God’s mercy to be thrown wide open, enabling all peoples to come to God, to return to God, to experience God’s healing mercy!”

“Special cards to recall the Year of Mercy are being distributed this coming weekend to all families in the Archdiocese. It is a reminder that “the Doors of Mercy are always open.”
