About this trip
My dear Brothers and sisters,
It is my pleasure to invite you to join us on a wonderful pilgrimage throughout France. This pilgrimage is a wonderful opportunity to experience the graces offered in many of the beautiful religious sites of France and to seek the intercession of many amazing saints there.
We will have the opportunity to join together in prayer, both in gratitude for many blessings received, as well as in petition for the continuing growth in holiness of our Church.
During our time in France we will visit Paris, “The City of Lights”, and have the opportunity to visit Notre Dame Cathedral and the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal. We will then make our way to Montmartre and the Church of the Sacre Coeur. We will also visit Lisieux (home of St. Terese), the Abbey at Mont St. Michel, Nevers (where St. Bernadette was a sister), and Paray Le Monial (the City of the Eucharist), visiting the Chapel of the Visitation where Jesus exposed His Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. During our journey we will also visit Omaha Beach and the memorial museum to the men who stormed the beaches during WWII. Our trip concludes with time at the great shrine of Lourdes.
I hope you will consider this most special gift to yourself and join me as we embark on a pilgrimage that promises to offer not only a journey of faith, but also time for prayer, meditation and enjoyment. As space is limited, reservations should be made as soon as possible.
Peace and God bless,
Father Brian Saylor
