Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
Seat of Mercy for South Coast Deanery Sacred Heart Church 50 Fairway Drive, Clear Island Waters Archbishop Mark Coleridge has designated Sacred Heart Church as a pilgrimage church of mercy. The Holy Door was opened on 12 February and anyone who passes through the Holy Door is able to obtain a plenary indulgence (for the temporal punishment of sins) under the usual conditions. This means celebrating the sacrament of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist with a reflection on mercy; profession of faith (Creed); a prayer for the intentions of the Pope (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be).

Pilgrimage of Mercy at Sacred Heart Church
“May pilgrimage be an impetus to conversion; by crossing the threshold of the Holy Door, we will find the strength to embrace God’s mercy and dedicate ourselves to being merciful with others as the Father has been with us.”
Pope Francis, The Face of Mercy n 14.
The Holy Door at Sacred Heart Church represents the door to God’s mercy and ‘great pardon.’ Special graces can be received by those who pass through the Door of Mercy with the appropriate interior disposition and fulfil the required conditions; celebrate the sacrament of Penance, receive Holy Eucharist, make a profession of faith (Creed) and pray for the intentions of the Pope (Our Father, Hail Mary).
To assist and accompany the prayer of pilgrims and those who pass through the Holy Door a Pilgrimage of Mercy has been created - a journey along the Way of Mercy for rest, reflection and prayer.
