Watch: Marching in a Brigade with the Church militant

May 25, 2023May 25, 2023 Director

No one makes Pilgrimage alone.

At the Pilgrimage for Restoration, pilgrims form in brigades and walk together in song, prayer, and fellowship.

Almost without being noticed, pilgrim-organizers (all volunteers) guide and shadow the sometimes mile-long column of brigades to assist them at every step of The Way, allowing pilgrims to concentrate on the “one thing alone necessary” – seeking and being with Christ.

Follow a brigade of students from Thomas More College in the video below.

blast from pilgrimage past – Were you there?

May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 Director Leave a comment

Were you there that Friday evening in 2003, at the “Canawagha Castle”, above the then-Blessed Kateri Shrine in Fonda?

(The sun was shining brightly that year — for a welcomed change! — even after 5pm. And those were the days the pilgrimage took four days, ending on a Saturday.)

Let everyone know.
