Three days left to register at group discount
Did you know that the group discounts to register expire this Monday, August 15, at 11:59pm?
That’s right, the discount period continues in honor of Our Blessed Lady, to celebrate the Dormition & Assumption of the all-Immaculate Mother of God.
But hurry! Time is running out to save beau-coup bucks when you register with your family or friends to have the time of your life on pilgrimage. (The family discount period has been extended for a limited time only!)
Auriesville or Bust!
Shortest e-mail poll on record, w/ under 50 days to decide. Can you?
YES!, [click here] I’m interested in Pilgrimage 2011, even if I cannot travel to Auriesville.
Pilgrims honor Our Blessed Lady and her Martyrs
No, [click here] I don’t envision myself having that much fun. But maybe next year! Thanks.

Some give by going. Others go by giving.
“palmer” — a pilgrim returning from the Holy Land, palm branches in hand
“alms” — money or goods given as an act of charity

Call it “alms for palms”.
For as long as Christians have been making pilgrimage, they have known that no one in the Church goes it alone – ever. Read More
Truth even in clouds can get dry
Is floating with ideas in the clouds getting dry?
When we’re at our best, we students pursue truth for a vocation. We’re in our books and college bubble.
Why not take the time to walk with the Truth Himself, living, walking, breathing? Not confined to books or our minds, Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, is the completion of our life as students.
How about moving beyond acknowledgement of that fact and taking steps to actually live it?
And why not take several of those steps on the Pilgrimage for Restoration 2011?
The Wanderer and Catholic Online write up the Pilgrimage
“This traditional pilgrimage to the Shrine of the North American Martyrs promises ‘Answered prayers. Tons of them.’ The 2011 Pilgrimage for Restoration is set for September 23-25.”

Good excuses, excused for good
Always wanted to make it, but just couldn’t … find the time to get away? We hear you!
What’s so different this year that makes it time now to register?
Reason #1 The Pilgrimage is shorter by a full day: Friday-Sunday, instead of Wednesday-Saturday.
Reason #2 Better yet, Read More
Christ the pilgrim? You too?
Sure. For example, Luke’s Gospel account at chpt. xxxiv, verses 31-35. Read More
In the footsteps of Martyrs
Looks inviting, eh? Imagine: real life on pilgrimage just got even better.
New dates & days in 2011 mean you too can have ‘the time of your life’ over a ‘long weekend’, Friday through Sunday, instead of a whole week away as in years past.
That makes it lots easier for collegians, home-schoolers & high-schoolers, working families and just about everybody to participate.
Now 12.5 miles shorter and following a more direct route, it’s also easier than ever for pilgrims to join up the last day, just like most pilgrims do at our model and inspiration, the Paris-to-Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage in France.
There’s something in the works for everybody.
The 16th annual Pilgrimage for Restoration is scheduled for 23-25 September 2011.
Songs of Pilgrimage and free MP3s
As you might have noticed — for example, from the video in yesterday’s post (below), the Pilgrimage is a prayerful, musical event.
Hymns, songs, and a story of the Pilgrimage are available, all on the official Pilgrimage for Restoration recording — on CD and cassette.
A listing of the 33 tracks of Songs of Pilgrimage can be found here.

“Talitha cumi!” Mk. v:41
In your charity, please pray for another fellow pilgrim-family in need – The Rakuses of New Jersey, whose 6-year old darling Liz has a serious brain tumor. They were told it was beyond treatment. Nonetheless they are at St. Jude’s Hospital in Tennessee, where they are attempting therapy.
May Our most Merciful Lord Christ, risen from the dead, take this little girl by the hand and heal her as he gave new life to the little daughter of Jairus.
“And taking the maiden by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.” Mark v:41, Luke viii:54 Read More
