Pilgrimage: The Holy Journey
Perhaps you or someone you know has asked, “What is a pilgrimage? Why do we make pilgrimage?”
In answer to these questions, Brother Andre Marie recorded an episode of ReConquest entitled “Pilgrimage: The Holy Journey.”

Pilgrims join Angels in praise of The Way
Along with the New York Catholic Chorale which has also sung the final Mass beautifully for years, the “Pilgrimage Choir” has often been a presence at the Pilgrimage for Restoration, providing the music for the weekday Masses and some years for final Liturgy Saturday.
As the name implies, the Pilgrimage Choir’s members are themselves pilgrim veterans, hailing from St. Joseph Oratory in Green Bay, WI. As pilgrims themselves, they truly enter into the spirit of the pilgrimage and understand the import of the Liturgy which sustains the pilgrims on their journey.
