You bet’cha. Today’s your lucky day.<\/p>\nYou bet’cha. Today’s your lucky day.<\/p>\n
You can thank Our Blessed and all-Immaculate Lady, St. Mary the Mother of God, whose feast – her holy Nativity – we celebrate today. September 8.<\/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 on September 8, but this year on 11 other special days — three more remaining — families and groups can still avail of the discounts which expired June 1 when they register<\/a> together – minimum of three pilgrims<\/b>.<\/p>\n Which special days?<\/p>\n There are an even dozen before September 28.<\/p>\n Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary – July 2 Yes.<\/p>\n 1. First, you need to register with at least two other pilgrims. Needed is just a valid credit card to get started.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 3. Finally, the registration and the payment must also be postmarked on the day of the feast<\/i>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But hurry. The ‘grace period’ ends tonight, September 8, at 23:59 PDT.<\/p>\n And you must register with at least two other pilgrims — friends<\/a> or family, or fellow students<\/a>.<\/p>\n Be sure to read this post carefully (and to the end) to learn how exactly to avail of the discount on this day of ‘grace’.<\/p>\n To maximize your discount, register<\/a> with more than two friends, family members or fellow students. See this page<\/a> for intermittent ‘grace’ periods — days on which, thanks to your Blessed Mother in heaven, you, pilgrim-wayfarers in peril of shipwreck, can obtain, by a simple act of humble honor shown to her, the discounted rate<\/a> for the registration fee after all.<\/p>\n Having difficulty affording it?<\/b> See this page<\/a> to help you find sponsorship. Pilgrims call it alms for palms<\/b><\/a>“. Simply beg fellow Catholics to contribute to your material expenses, like transportation. And promise to take their intentions to the destination shrine.<\/p>\n They can also contribute to your registration fee, from this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n PRE-register<\/b><\/a> today to get the discount — and a jump on preparations until you can make the final decision.<\/p>\n To obtain the day’s discounted rate, you must pre-register<\/a> and<\/strong> submit the undiscounted<\/i> fee for September in full today ($150). Then make final plans with at least two other friends later.<\/p>\n Then, invite friends to join you in the spiritual exercise. Or, decide later to join from afar<\/a> by prayer, obtain a plenary indulgence, pray for or sponsor or obtain the prayers of pilgrims.<\/p>\n Register today for Sunday only<\/a>. (No fee for Sunday-only.<\/i>)<\/p>\n Just click here to pre-register<\/a> or here for Sunday only<\/a>.<\/p>\n But still wish to obtain similar graces, the benefits of prayers of fellow pilgrims, even a plenary indulgence?<\/p>\n Click here<\/a><\/b> to find out home to participate from afar, even from home.<\/p>\n Pilgrimage for Restoration<\/strong> 23rd annual — 2018 A.D.<\/b><\/p>\n Friday – Sunday “Now is the acceptable time.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Jump-start your plans, even if you are not sure you can make it to Auriesville. PRE-register. It’s simple, easy & there are no strings attached: you are left free to decide later whether you can make it or not.<\/p>\n You can also make pilgrimage from afar<\/a><\/b>, from home or parish: obtain a plenary indulgence, sponsor a pilgrim (or two), request prayers or offer them — all from this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
