IN COMMEMORATION OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA!

TO: Registrants and fellow pilgrims in The Lord

FROM: Greg Lloyd, Director – Pilgrimage for Restoration

Thank you for having submitted the fee & the release of liability or/and the parental authorization of minor children.

Congratulations for completing registration for the 22nd annual Pilgrimage for Restoration, Friday-Sunday, 29 September – October 1, 2017.

Step-off in September may seem far off, but it always comes sooner than you think, and there is rarely enough time to prepare. In fact, pilgrimage has already begun, certainly for those praying, and now is the acceptable time to prepare with fellow pilgrims.

Please click on the following hyperlinks for step-by-step guidance to prepare, in numeric order, for the days of pilgrimage.

  1. The Chaplain asks each pilgrim and brigade to offer daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Download it from this page of the Pilgrimage blog.
  2. Now that you have completed registration, CLICK HERE NOW to read a very important & URGENT message from Dennis, Mitchell, the Vice-Director charged with organizing shuttle service, car-pools, and transportation all three days of pilgrimage.
  3. Chief of Brigadiers Reuben DeMaster has an important message found here for you and every brigadesman and woman.
  4. Next, click here for an useful message from the Pilgrimage Director, in order to keep yourself up-to-date of developments.
  5. To read about conducting oneself modestly-dressed on pilgrimage, click here.

Click here to read answers to frequently asked questions – FAQs — in general.

Click here for answers to questions specifically about preparing for departure and step-off.

Keep this page bookmarked, since it can be accessed only with a hyperlink/URL supplied to a pilgrim after completing registration.

God grant us the grace of making pilgrimage together worthily.

IN COMMEMORATION OF THE MARTYRS OF NEW FRANCE

TO: Family-registrants – Pilgrimage 2017

FROM: Reuben J. DeMaster – Chief of Brigadiers

 

Congratulations on taking a first step of pilgrimage with your family to Our Lady’s Shrine of Martyrs in Auriesville, NY!

The second step is much like every other step of pilgrimage: to pray with the other pilgrim-registrants also preparing to go to Auriesville. Indeed, prayer & penance is the beginning and end — the very reason — of the pilgrimage. The way of a pilgrim is the habit of ceaseless prayer. I. Thessalonians v, 17

That’s why the Fathers-chaplain ask each pilgrim to pray daily the very short prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe.

Find it on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

“He who sings well, prays twice.” (Attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo.) Why not multiply your praying power by learning or practicing some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage?

Why must I submit the transportation request form?

The shuttle is provided to enable you to recover your vehicle at the end of the pilgrimage, Sunday afternoon.

In the event you use public transportation (PT), the organizers also will shuttle you to and from the PT terminal.

In every case, plain-pilgrims & pilgrim-organizers need to plan, together, in advance.

Submitting the shuttle request facilitates your transportation in the afternoon or evening on Thursday, September 27, from the Auriesville Shrine to Lake George Village, and again bright & early Friday morning from motel to check-in (which every pilgrim must do) right before Mass and step-off.

Submit the form only after registering and submitting the fee.

a word about conducting oneself & family modestly on pilgrimage, in dress foremost

IN COMMEMORATION OF THE MARTYRS OF NEW FRANCE

TO: registrants — fellow pilgrims in The Lord

FROM: Greg Lloyd – Director of the Pilgrimage

 

The pilgrimage’s Chaplains join me in reminding pilgrims to observe norms of Christian modesty on pilgrimage.

As regards clothes, they are to adorn and conceal, not reveal the body, its figure and skin. Decent apparel complements, without flaunting, one’s God-given beauty. It is an outward sign of the soul’s invisible dignity and virtues.

Gentlemen are asked please to refrain from wearing short-trousers, tank tops, tee shirts, and/or apparel with shocking or distracting designs. Though in the Adirondack wilderness, we are throughout praying, including holy Mass. It is only fitting, therefore, to keep clothing neat and in good repair.

On pilgrimage, most ladies wear dresses or skirts, which we ask always to be cut below knee length. If they find they must wear slacks, they are durable, but always loose-fitting, and to the ankle. Blouses should also show good measure: not tight-fitting or sleeveless, and no low necklines. In the apostolic tradition, ladies also wear a hat, scarf, or mantilla while praying the holy Mass. (Cf. Epistle of St. Paul, I Cor. xi, 6-7)

Please let me hear from you if you have any questions. mail [at] pilgrimage-for-restoration.org

Godspeed!

      d.mitchell.pilgrimage@gmail.com – Co. of St. René Goupîl

 

After completing registration, be sure also to submit the transportation form, to coordinate with organizers your arrival at the pilgrimage starting point Thursday, 28 September, and in order to guarantee retrieval of your vehicle after the final Mass Sunday, October 1.

Even if you or the group you are traveling with intend to keep your vehicle throughout the pilgrimage, we ask you to submit the form, to tell us that.

Please don’t delay. The sooner my colleagues & I know your plans, the sooner your itinerary can be fixed and together we can all help fellow pilgrims looking for rides to the region from ‘all over the map’.

Please also visit the online pilgrims’ forum to interact with fellow pilgrims, including to help those looking to car-pool to the starting-point, and back home.

Lots of pilgrims are looking for rides to step-off. Information you offer to others in the forum, and by submitting the transportation form, can be used to help arrange car-pools.

Please contact me if you have any questions about transportation.

A blessed pilgrimage!

The pilgrimage’s Chaplain has asked me to remind pilgrims to observe norms of Christian modesty on pilgrimage.

As regards clothes, they are to adorn and conceal, not reveal the body, its figure and skin. Decent apparel complements, without flaunting, one’s God-given beauty. It is an outward sign of the soul’s invisible dignity and virtues.

Gentlemen are asked please to refrain from wearing short-trousers, tank tops, tee shirts, and/or apparel with shocking or distracting designs. Though in the Adirondack wilderness, we also attend holy Mass. It is only fitting, therefore, to keep clothing neat and in good repair.

On pilgrimage, most ladies wear dresses or skirts, which we ask always to be cut below knee length. If they find they must wear slacks, they are durable, but always loose-fitting, and to the ankle. Blouses should also show good measure: not tight-fitting or sleeveless, and no low necklines. In the apostolic tradition, ladies also wear a hat, scarf, or mantilla while praying the holy Mass. (Cf. Epistle of St. Paul, I Cor. xi, 6-7)

Please let me hear from you if you have any questions. mail [at] pilgrimage-for-restoration.org

Godspeed!

Gregory P. Lloyd
Pilgrimage Director

message for pilgrim-registrants from the Chief of Brigadiers, Pilgrimage 2016

Memorandum

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2016

FROM: Reuben J. DeMaster – Chief of Brigadiers

 

Congratulations on taking a first step of pilgrimage with your family to Our Lady’s Shrine of Martyrs in Auriesville, NY!

The second step is much like every other step of pilgrimage: to pray with the other pilgrim-registrants also preparing to go to Auriesville. Indeed, prayer & penance is the beginning and end — the very reason — of the pilgrimage. The way of a pilgrim is the habit of unceasing prayer.

That’s why the Pilgrimage Chaplains ask each pilgrim to pray daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find it on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

“He who sings well, prays twice.” (Attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo.) Why not multiply your praying power by learning or practicing some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage?

Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or while putzing around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

Please let me hear from you if you await your brigade assignment, or if you have any questions about brigade-life. Please ask your fellow-brigadesmen or women to do the same. Click here to e-mail me.

Godspeed!

Veterans know there is never a better time than now to commence preparations. And there never seems to be enough time, no matter how long in advance one registers.

Please therefore contact your brigadier as soon as possible to get started. If you don’t know or cannot reach him or her, drop an e-mail to my Colleague, Mike Six.

Some of the brigades already have blogs. If yours doesn’t, please encourage your brigadier to start one. You, he or she can contact me for ideas.

message for pilgrim-registrants from the Director, Pilgrimage 2015

Memorandum

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2015

FROM: Greg Lloyd, Director – Pilgrimage for Restoration

 

A pilgrim is one who prays on The Way to the destination of his prayers.

After registering, what are the first steps of pilgrimage to prepare well for & make the best of the spiritual journey?

  1.   First & foremost, our Chaplains ask each pilgrim & brigade to offer daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find this easy-to-memorize prayer on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.
  2.   To keep abreast of developments and messages to pilgrims, and for helpful practical tips — about things like packing, transportation, camping/lodgings, gear, food, etc. — subscribe to the Pilgrimage blog. http://pilgrimage.stblogs.com
  3.   You can also join the Pilgrimage’s Facebook group.
  4.   Looking for a ride to pilgrimage? Get in on the pilgrims’ forum, and form a car-pool — or make other plans with fellow-pilgrims for brigade life, camps, you name it.
  5.   Would you like your family to learn or practice some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage?

    Click here to request a CD or cassette of the Pilgrimage’s very own Songs of Pilgrimage or the documentary video. Or paste the URL into your browser. http://national-coalition.org/w/songs-of-pilgrimage-order-form

    Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or work around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

A blessed pilgrimage!
