Come Journey with Us!
Dear Fellow Pilgrims,
A pilgrimage is a 8me to step back and reflect on the process of spiritual healing and growth. A pilgrimage is a 8me to go away to a unique place and reflect on the joys and woes of life that come with being a disciple of Christ. A pilgrimage helps us to grow in our rela8onship with Christ, and encounter Him in nature, art and history. A pilgrimage helps us to center our lives, again, on and in Christ. This special pilgrimage to France, Spain, and Portugal will afford those who come on this journey to encounter Christ in each other, but also in the many places of our Chris8an heritage. Through the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of saints, the architecture of the churches and basilicas, and the celebra8on of our faith, together we will reflect on the gi5 of God’s grace in our lives. Our pilgrimage will take us Fa8ma during the For more information, centennial celebra8on of the appearance of Our Lady, please contact:
