Light from the East to improve Western views of Catholic horizons – Pilgrimage 2026

Director Messages to Pilgrims

“Days passed like the beads of a rosary. Slowly, reverently. In walking . . . close to God and the earth He made.”

What is a pilgrimage? Why do we make pilgrimage?

This gem from the memoirs of Servant of God Catherine de Hueck, describing the pilgrimages of her youth in Russia, can teach us.

Take and revel in this beautiful glimpse of a place and era when “making pilgrimage” was part of the rhythm of the liturgical year — and a priceless aid in the greater pilgrimage towards our Heavenly goal.
