\"AdirondackWell, then today’s your lucky day.<\/p>\n

You can thank Our Blessed and all-Immaculate Lady, St. Mary the Mother of Christ-God, whose feast -the Visitation – we celebrate today.<\/p>\n

Thanks to your Mother, in other words, you don’t have to miss the pilgrimage because you were ‘a day late and a few dollars short’ (again?) this year.<\/p>\n

Besides ‘alms for palms<\/a>‘ to sponsor you, the organizers’ policy is that no one is turned away from pilgrimage for want of the registration fee.<\/p>\n

Not only today, but this year on special days, ‘plain vanilla’ pilgrims, families and groups can avail of the discounts which expired June 1.<\/p>\n

Which special days?<\/p>\n

Any day, on the traditional (Western) calendar, before step-off, on which a feast of Our Blessed Lady occurs — including her Parents, Ss. Anne & Joachim; or a day on which a saint of the Society of Jesus (Jesuit) or a native American saint is commemorated.<\/p>\n

Which dates are they? They are an even dozen before September 20.<\/p>\n

Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary – July 2
\nOur Lady of Mount Carmel – July 16
\nSt. Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary – July 26
\nSt. Ignatius of Loyola – July 31
\nVigil of the Dormition & Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – August 14
\nFeast of the Dormition & Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – August 15
\nSt. Joachim, Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary – August 16
\nFeast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary – August 26
\nNativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary – September 8
\nSt. Peter Claver, SJ – September 9
\nFeast of the Most Holy Name of Mary – September 12
\nFeast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary – September 15<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is there anything else one has to do besides register on those days?<\/h3>\n

Yes, the discounted fee must be paid online, via PayPal. (One does NOT need a PayPal account to use the service; just a valid credit card.)<\/p>\n

Also, the registrant has to ask<\/i><\/b> for the discount in writing by including a note\/request in the “description” field when paying online via PayPal, or by e-mailing the Director<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The note requesting the discount must read: “Humble request for discounted fee in honor of [name of saint — and, in the case of Our Blessed Lady, her holy name – no less than “St. Mary” – & the title of the feast<\/b>]”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally, the payment must also be postmarked on the day of the feast<\/i>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
