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!

message for pilgrim-registrants about shuttle service, car-pools, and transportation all 3 days of Pilgrimage 2024

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

FROM: Dennis P. Mitchell, R.O. – Transportation-Team
mitchelld@pilgrimage-for-restoration.org – Co. of St. René Goupîl

After completing registration, be sure also to submit the shuttle request, to coordinate with organizers your arrival at the pilgrimage starting point Thursday, 26 September, and in order to guarantee retrieval of your vehicle after the final Mass Sunday, October 1.

Even if you or the group you are traveling with intend to keep your vehicle throughout the pilgrimage, we ask you to submit the form, to tell us that.

Request the shuttle also if you are arriving in the region via public transportation (PT – air, bus, rail) Thursday, Sept. 26 and/or wish to return Sunday, after pilgrimage, to a PT terminal in the region.

NOTE: If you positively must arrive at the other nearby airport — i.e., at Schenectady County, instead of Albany International — then please notify me immediately via e-mail to determine whether I can help to arrange a ride for you from that terminal to the step-off on Thursday, Sept. 26. Same goes for your departure Sunday. (I can make no guarantees, but we can try. The sooner you notify me, the better — esp. for you.)

In any event, please don’t delay. The sooner my colleagues & I know your plans, the sooner your itinerary can be fixed and together we can all help fellow pilgrims looking for rides to the region from ‘all over the map’.

Please also visit the online pilgrims’ forum to interact with fellow pilgrims, including to help those looking to car-pool to the region, and back home.

Lots of pilgrims are looking for rides to pilgrimage. Information you offer to others on Facebook, and by submitting the shuttle request, can be used to help arrange car-pools.

Please contact me if you have any questions about transportation.

A blessed pilgrimage!

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?

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.

message for pilgrim-registrants from the Director, Pilgrimage 2018

Memorandum

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2018

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.   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.   You can also join the Pilgrimage’s Facebook group.
  4.   Looking for a ride to pilgrimage? Get in on the pilgrims’ forum, and form a car-pool — or make other plans with fellow-pilgrims for brigade life, camps, you name it.
  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 documentary video. 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 work around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

A blessed pilgrimage!

steps after completing registration – 2018

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 23rd annual Pilgrimage for Restoration, Friday-Sunday, 28-30 September 2018.

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. Now that you have completed registration, CLICK HERE NOW 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.

One last step to complete registration – release of liability & parental authorization of minors

AFTER you have registered and remitted the fee, every adult registrant must please submit the release of liability.

Every parent or/and guardian of minor (i.e., pilgrim-registrants under age 18) must also submit the parental authorization of minors using the same form.

CLICK HERE NOW to submit the form.

    Note: Except for spouses, families, or guardians of minors — who may submit one form, all together — all pilgrims must submit their own release of liability.
  • To submit parental authorization for minors accompanying you from more than one family, you must fill out a separate form for each family.

The form takes about 2 minutes to complete – a minute or two longer, if also authorizing one or more minors.

Parents and all registrant-pilgrims must submit the form in advance, because there is not sufficient time or opportunity at check-in to have pilgrims submit the form once on site.

To find out more about who must submit the form and why, click here.

Message for families from the Chief of Brigadiers, Pilgrimage 2017

IN COMMEMORATION OF THE MARTYRS OF NEW FRANCE

TO: Family-registrants – Pilgrimage 2017

FROM: Reuben J. DeMaster – Chief of Brigadiers

 

Congratulations on taking a first step of pilgrimage with your family 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 ceaseless prayer. I. Thessalonians v, 17

That’s why the Fathers-chaplain ask each pilgrim to pray daily the very short prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe.

Find it on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

“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 CD 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.

Please let me hear from you if you await the brigade assignment/s for your family, or if you have any questions about brigade-life. Click here to e-mail me.

Godspeed!

Why must I submit the transportation request form?

The shuttle is provided to enable you to recover your vehicle at the end of the pilgrimage, Sunday afternoon.

In the event you use public transportation (PT), the organizers also will shuttle you to and from the PT terminal.

In every case, plain-pilgrims & pilgrim-organizers need to plan, together, in advance.

Submitting the shuttle request facilitates your transportation in the afternoon or evening on Thursday, September 27, from the Auriesville Shrine to Lake George Village, and again bright & early Friday morning from motel to check-in (which every pilgrim must do) right before Mass and step-off.

Submit the form only after registering and submitting the fee.
