Mass is at 11:00. Following Mass, we have a picnic in the pavilion adja- cent to the Shrine grounds. Each family brings its own picnic. After lunch, there is time for sports and games, touring the Shrine buildings, and general camaraderie.

You may change to casual but modest clothes for the picnic. Bring sports equipment and your family’s picnic lunch. This event is a special Seton tradition, which we were unable to hold last year. We are looking forward to renewing the tradition this year and hope that many families will participate.
