Besides the more visible apostolates within the organization on pilgrimage (e.g., the Company of St. René Goupîl – CSRG, and the Corps of St. Eustace) there are several other divisions of pilgrim-servants, many of them serving quietly throughout the year, unseen by fellow pilgrims even on the way to Auriesville. Some provide spiritual guidance or practical direction, others moral or material support, many simply pray. All of them make sacrifices to realize the pilgrimage year after year. (God reward them!) And often there seem never to be enough heads & hands — or hearts large enough — to accomplish the work.

“The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.”

Mt. ix:37-38

The several divisions of the pilgrimage organization are shown in this schematic.

And they need generous help. In your charity, would you donate your time, talent or treasure to help realize service to the pilgrims? Contact pilgrim-organizers to find out more or to step-forward in service.

• All pilgrim-servants of the above-named divisions are expected to study and exemplify the spirit of our heavenly Patron, Joseph Chihwatenha, “The Forgotten Martyr“, whose spiritual father, St. Jean de Brèbeuf, hailed as the “Pillar of the Church in North America”.
