Confirmations in the old rite! Interested? Tell us. – Pilgrimage 2025

Sumbit the short form on this page to tell us that you are interested in or intend to bring a loved one to be confirmed in the ritus vetus.

Thursday, September 25

on the shore of the
Lake of the Blessed Sacrament
in Lake George Village, upstate New York

His Excellency, Edward B. Scharfenberger, Bishop of Albany, New York, has graciously received our request in the Jubilee Year of Hope.

In a letter dated July 30 he has graciously granted to veteran-pilgrim Bishop Joseph L. Coffey the faculty to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation at Pilgrimage 2025.

Confirmands, their families, and guests are most welcome, but do not have to participate in the other days of pilgrimage.

“In unione orationum.”

Now is the acceptable time.

Registration is open.

Jump-start your plans, even if you are not sure you can make it to Auriesville. PRE-register. It’s simple: remit a pre-fee of $35, and you are left free to decide later whether you can make it or not.

You can also make pilgrimage from afar, from home or parish: obtain a plenary indulgence, sponsor a pilgrim (or two), request prayers or offer them — all from this page.
