Pilgrimage of Mercy Chaplet
At the first pilgrimage event each pilgrim received a cord with a crucifix and the first beads to begin the chaplet. Additional beads were available at all other pilgrimages. Suggestions for how to use the beads to pray for mercy were handed out with the beads to remind pilgrims to pray and sacrifice.
