Call it \u201calms for palms<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n For as long as Christians have been making pilgrimage, they have known that no one in the Church, on The Way<\/i>, goes it alone \u2013 ever.<\/p>\n Some give by going. Others go by giving.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n Every pilgrim who returns palm in hand, knows he has gone hand in hand with those who have supported him by prayers and alms.<\/p>\n In short, a pilgrim offers family, friends, parishioners, neighbors et al<\/em> his prayers & penances and promises to take their petitions to Our Lady’s altar at the destination Shrine. The same pilgrim begs the other person\/s, in exchange, for alms (monetary gifts) to help the pilgrim to afford the material costs of pilgrimage — like transportation, food, clothing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n (Yes. You read that correctly. A pilgrim is a beggar. Just as Christ & his first disciples also were beggars. Pilgrimage is very humbling.)<\/p>\n Whether from home or highway, everyone can participate<\/a> in the annual Pilgrimage for Restoration<\/em>.<\/p>\n Join your prayers to theirs, and ask fellow pilgrims to remember your intentions along the way.<\/p>\n Or offer alms in return for the \u2018palms\u2019 in their hands folded for you in prayer.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy.<\/p>\n Pilgrim & benefactor exchange “palms” for the alms a benefactor gives directly to the pilgrim, to cover costlier personal expenses, like transportation.<\/p>\n Or, a pilgrim can ask a benefactor to sponsor the needy pilgrim’s registration by name<\/i><\/a> online for $185 — or help in whatever amount.<\/p>\n Your benefactors may also give to the NCCL apostolate in order to provide fresh water, food, transportation, first-aid, construction of an altar<\/a>, etc. in whatever amount he can.<\/p>\n You may also donate, going directly to PayPal, or by following this link<\/a>. From there, click on the \u201cMake a Donation\u201d button<\/a>.<\/p>\n (Be sure to include a brief note explaining your request. E.g. “sponsor J. Smith Pilg ’25”.)<\/p>\n Or mail in this form<\/a> with a check payable to \u201cNCCL\u201d.<\/p>\n Whether you go by giving, or give by going \u2014 thank you!<\/p>\n In the union of prayers, Pilgrimage Director 484\/240-5797 tel National Coalition of Clergy & Laity \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n Participate from afar, or sponsor a pilgrim on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here are some ways to help pilgrims with the material support they need.<\/p>\n [ x ] Brave Huron Converts give $25 to provide pilgrims fresh water along the way<\/p>\n [ x ] Medics of St. Dr. Ren\u00e9 Goup\u00eel<\/a> give $50 in first aid for weak pilgrims<\/p>\n [ x ] Co-Missioners of St. John de Brebeuf give $75 to help teach children catechism<\/p>\n [ x ] Joseph Chihwatenha<\/a>\u2019s Christian Warriors give $100 to transport the weary<\/p>\n [ x ] Co-Witnesses of St. Isaac Jogues’s martyrdom<\/a> give $250 to feed & shelter hungry pilgrims<\/p>\n [ x ] Mission Builders of North America give $500 toward the material needs to bring as many as 20 holy Masses*<\/strong> into the wilderness over 3 days<\/p>\n *<\/strong> all liturgical rites in the \u201cextraordinary,” traditional Latin-Roman form.<\/p>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n Pilgrimage for Restoration<\/strong> <\/p>\n milestone 30th annual<\/b> Friday – Sunday “Now is the acceptable time.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n Registration<\/a> is open.<\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to register.<\/p>\n Jump-start your plans, even if you are not sure you can make it to Auriesville.
