Something for everyone – 2024

Schedule in overview

Friday-Sunday, 27 – 29 September

Pilgrimage 2024 offers multiple days & ways to make it easier to participate than ever.

There’s something for just about everybody. Take your pick.

Traditional Roman liturgy forma extraordinaria, personal spiritual guidance, teaching, confessions, fellowship – every day.

1.   Sunday-only, September 29

    Register now for Sunday only!

    Similar to the annual Pentecost Pilgrimage to Chartres in France, many pilgrims join the Auriesville pilgrimage on the last day, Sunday, to walk the last leg of the spiritual journey with the column of pilgrims on the road since Friday.

    Click here for the itinerary, options, and instructions for Sunday.

    Extraordinary Holy Mass crowns the Pilgrimage in the Coliseum church of the Martyrs of New France at 3:15 P.M. Sunday.

    Pilgrims wear hats, sturdy walking shoes and modest clothing, remembering they attend Holy Mass after; no shorts.

    Pilgrims bring bottled water, make provisions for inclement weather and carry holy images, banners & flags – but no signs as in demonstration.

2.   Friday – Sunday, 27-29 September

    Register now for more than one day!

    • Walk three days through the Adirondacks, 63 miles, from the Lake of the Blessed Sacrament (aka Lake George, NY) to the Shrine of Our Lady’s Martyrs, at Auriesville.

      •  
      Transportation & TLC are provided throughout for weary pilgrims.

    Three to five miles walking daily for two weeks prior to the event is recommended for conditioning.

    Pilgrims may walk three hours, three miles or three days thanks to the charity of volunteers who shadow the walking-column in vans.

    Camp two nights and join up with the your family, friends & fellow pilgrims arriving Sunday for continuation to Auriesville.

    • Sometimes late-comers join pilgrims already at camp Friday or Saturday evening.   If so, they have to make their own travel arrangements, and also register, as every pilgrim must.

     
    Traditional Roman liturgy forma extraordinaria, personal spiritual guidance, confessions, fellowship — every day.

3.   Friday – Sunday, 27-29 September   Modified Pilgrimage

    Register now for the Modified Pilgrimage!

    Children and their parents – seniors, too – may join for more than one day in a modified pilgrimage: praying, singing, playing, learning catechism – in camp. They also (may) walk short distances with pilgrims in the main column each morning, afternoon, and evening.

4.   Pilgrimage from afar

    Can’t travel to make pilgrimage?

    Click here to request prayers, offer prayers, or to sponsor a pilgrim!

    Pilgrims will remember you in prayer en route, and you can pray for them while making pilgrimage from home.

    Click here to learn how to obtain a plenary indulgence from your home.

message for pilgrim-registrants from the Director, Pilgrimage 2024

Promemoria

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2024 A.D.

FROM: Greg Lloyd, Director – Pilgrimage for Restoration

 

A pilgrim is one who prays on The Way to the destination of his prayers.

After registering, what are the first steps of pilgrimage to prepare well for & make the best of the spiritual journey?

  1.   First & foremost, our Chaplains ask each pilgrim & brigade to offer daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find this easy-to-memorize prayer on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

    2.  

  2.   To keep abreast of developments and messages to pilgrims, and for helpful practical tips — about things like packing, transportation, camping/lodgings, gear, food, etc. — subscribe to the Pilgrimage blog. http://pilgrimage-for-restoration.org/blog/

    3.  

  3.   You can also join the Pilgrimage’s Facebook group or the FB page.

    4.  

  4.   Looking for a ride to pilgrimage? Form a car-pool — or make other plans with fellow-pilgrims for brigade life, camps, you name it.   After you request the shuttle, to check-in, you can then also ask for help to arrange a ride from home, to car-pool to Auriesville.

    5.  

  5.   Would you like your family to learn or practice some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage? Click here to request a CD or cassette of the Pilgrimage’s very own Songs of Pilgrimage or the Pilgrims’ Handbook of songs & prayers. Or paste the URL into your browser. http://national-coalition.org/w/songs-of-pilgrimage-order-form

Note: The documentary video is again out of stock this season.

Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or work around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

Blessed pilgrimage!

Promemoria

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2024 A.D.

FROM: Reuben J. DeMaster – Vice-Director for Brigade Life

 

Congratulations on taking a first step of pilgrimage, this year back again to the Adirondacks and Auriesville.

The second step is much like every other step of pilgrimage: to pray with the other pilgrim-registrants also preparing to honor Our Blessed Lady at her shrine. Indeed, prayer & penance is the beginning and end — the very reason — of the pilgrimage. The way of a pilgrim is the habit of unceasing prayer. I. Thessalonians v, 17

That’s why the Pilgrimage Chaplains ask each pilgrim to pray daily, beginning today, the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find it on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

Find the pilgrims’ three-line prayer on the blog at http://pilgrimage-for-restoration.org/blog/?p=2373

“He who sings well, prays twice.” (Attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo.) Why not multiply your praying power by learning or practicing some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage?

Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or while putzing around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

NOTE: the DVD video documentary is still out of stock, again, this season.

steps after completing registration – 2019

IN COMMEMORATION OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA!

TO: Registrants and fellow pilgrims in The Lord

FROM: Greg Lloyd, Director – Pilgrimage for Restoration

Thank you for having submitted the fee & the release of liability or/and the parental authorization of minor children.

Congratulations for completing registration for the 24th annual Pilgrimage for Restoration, Friday-Sunday, 27-29 September 2019.

Step-off in September may seem far off, but it always comes sooner than you think, and there is rarely enough time to prepare. In fact, pilgrimage has already begun, certainly for those praying, and now is the acceptable time to prepare with fellow pilgrims.

Please click on the following hyperlinks for step-by-step guidance to prepare, in numeric order, for the days of pilgrimage.

  1. The Chaplain asks each pilgrim and brigade to offer daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Download it from this page of the Pilgrimage blog.
  2. Click here to read a very important & urgent message from Dennis, Mitchell, the Vice-Director charged with organizing shuttle service, car-pools, and transportation all three days of pilgrimage.
  3. Chief of Brigadiers Reuben DeMaster has an important message found here for you and every brigadesman and woman.
  4. Next, click here for an useful message from the Pilgrimage Director, in order to keep yourself up-to-date of developments.
  5. To read about conducting oneself modestly-dressed on pilgrimage, click here.

Click here to read answers to frequently asked questions – FAQs — in general.

Click here for answers to questions specifically about preparing for departure and step-off.

Keep this page bookmarked, since it can be accessed only with a hyperlink/URL supplied to a pilgrim after completing registration.

God grant us the grace of making pilgrimage together worthily.

message for pilgrim-registrants from the Chief of Brigadiers, Pilgrimage 2018

Memorandum

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2018

FROM: Reuben J. DeMaster – Chief of Brigadiers

 

Congratulations on taking a first step of pilgrimage to Our Lady’s Shrine of Martyrs in Auriesville, NY!

The second step is much like every other step of pilgrimage: to pray with the other pilgrim-registrants also preparing to go to Auriesville. Indeed, prayer & penance is the beginning and end — the very reason — of the pilgrimage. The way of a pilgrim is the habit of unceasing prayer. I. Thessalonians v, 17

That’s why the Pilgrimage Chaplains ask each pilgrim to pray daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find it on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

Find the pilgrims’ three-line prayer on the blog at http://pilgrimage-for-restoration.org/blog/?p=2373

“He who sings well, prays twice.” (Attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo.) Why not multiply your praying power by learning or practicing some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage?

Click here to request your own copy of the Songs of Pilgrimage or the video documentary. Or paste the URL into your browser. http://national-coalition.org/w/songs-of-pilgrimage-order-form

Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or while putzing around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

Find the Pilgrimage media here. Request your own copy of the Songs of Pilgrimage CD or the video documentary DVD.

    Please let me hear from you if you await your brigade assignment, or if you have any questions about brigade-life. Please ask your fellow-brigadesmen or women to do the same. Click here to e-mail me.

Godspeed!

NOTE WELL

Veterans know there is never a better time than now to commence preparations. And there never seems to be enough time, no matter how long in advance one registers.

Please therefore contact your brigadier as soon as possible to get started. If you don’t know or cannot reach him or her, drop an e-mail to my colleague, Mike Six, Emeritus Chief of Brigadiers.

Some of the brigades already have blogs. If yours doesn’t, please encourage your brigadier to start one. You, he or she can contact me for ideas.
