That’s right. Upon arrival, every pilgrim without exception must check-in at Wood Park, Thursday between 4:30 to 10:30.

NOTE WELL: THE LAST SHUTTLE TO THE CHECK-IN LOCATION DEPARTS THE AURIESVILLE SHRINE PARKING LOT AT 8:00 THURSDAY EVENING.
Pilgrim-DRIVERS must plan in advance to arrive – without passengers – and park in the lot behind the Coliseum church at Auriesville no later than 7:45PM Thursday evening.
Note well: The distance between the Shrine where you park your vehicle Thursday to Sunday & the check-in location at Wood Park is 60 miles. Travel time between the two locations requires 1 hr 30 mins one-way by automobile via interstate highways. The earlier you park your vehicle at the Shrine Thursday after noon, the better. But you must arrive at the Shrine to park no later than 7:45 Thursday evening. Thus, you must first drop all passengers in your party at the check-in location in Lake George Village no later than 6:15PM, then drive to the destination Shrine to park your vehicle.
Start your plans now. Request the shuttle.
Don’t panic. Don’t delay. Step-by-step, EXACT instructions are provided when you request the shuttle.
Follow the instructions that organizers give on site at check-in Thursday evening and rendezvous Friday morning.
Every pilgrim, without exception, must report to the ‘rendezvous point’ – at Wood Park – no later than 6:00 Friday morning, to form-up with the brigades before holy Mass & step-off.
For those pilgrims ONLY who arrive in Lake George Village after 10:30 Thursday night, there is an alternate check-in Friday morning at 6:00am at Wood Park. This alternate check-in is NOT AN OPTION for pilgrims. It is a last resort, after all personal plans and efforts to arrive at the check-in location before 10:30 Thursday evening have fallen through.
