Join fellow pilgrims and pilgrim-servants converging at Allentown, Pennsylvania, for a day of recollection on Saturday, March 29<\/b>.<\/p>\n

First-Chaplain Father Joseph Favole will direct meditations throughout the day, beginning with holy Mass at 8:00 A.M. at the Oratory-church of St. Stephen of Hungary – 510 West Union Street, Allentown PA 18101-2307.<\/p>\n

RSVP here<\/a>,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A fellow Chaplain or two will hear confessions.<\/p>\n

The day’s session will be devoted to imbue aspiring pilgrims and all pilgrim-servants — especially brigade leaders<\/a> and members of the Company of St. Ren\u00e9 Goup\u00eel<\/i><\/a> (CSRG) — with the spirituality of the blessed martyrs.<\/p>\n

That spirituality is condensed in the letter of St. Isaac Jogues<\/a> (written under obedience around the year 1646), recounting his friend’s martyrdom in September 1642 as well as in accounts of the heroic martyrdoms of Huron converts<\/a> like Eustace Ahatsistari, Paul Onnonhoaraton, and Stephen of Andagoron.<\/p>\n

Father will ‘unpack’ the letter’s account<\/a>, to teach what it means for pilgrim-servants and ‘plain-vanilla’ pilgrims.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b> The Company of St. Ren\u00e9 Goup\u00eel<\/i><\/a> was founded by the late Robert “Uncle Bob” Murray<\/a>, of blessed memory, in March of 1998 in order to help to provide for the material needs of pilgrims in imitation of St. Ren\u00e9 Goup\u00eel, a laymen and physician.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The meditations will concentrate on the martyrs’ spirituality, in order to answer the question, “What does it mean to be a free Christian servant to pilgrims in the manner of martyrs who were enslaved on pilgrimage in the summer of 1642, and after?”<\/p>\n

Pilgrims past & future, who are not<\/b> servants or members of the CSRG, are welcome to attend. Everyone else with an heart for pilgrimage is also welcome.<\/p>\n

There is no charge for the day<\/b>, but attendees and other benefactors are encouraged to donate<\/a> to the stipends which the NCCL apostolate expects to give to the Fathers who direct the day’s meditation.<\/p>\n

Benefactors may also contribute to help retreatants<\/a> defray the costs of travel and\/or local overnight accommodations for pilgrim-servants coming from afar.<\/p>\n

Send an e-mail<\/a> to Eric McWhirter, Director for the CSRG, if you have questions about the day.<\/p>\n

Ask Eric<\/a> also about defraying the costs of travel & accommodations, by staying with local pilgrims or pilgrim-families — Friday or\/and Saturday nights, 28-29 March.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mark your calendar for the all-day event Saturday, 29 March! RSVP<\/a> today.<\/p>\n
