Pilgrimage of New York

The second annual Pilgrimage of New York will take place on Saturday April 9.  It is being organized by a coalition of Catholic young adult groups.   In the words of the organizers:   ” Our city has been blessed throughout history with great saints and holy Catholic men and women, and we invite you to join us in celebrating their legacy and finding inspiration in their life stories. On April 9, 2011, we will walk from the shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, near Manhattan’s northern tip, to the shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, close to Battery Park. Along the way, we will visit other churches connected to New York’s Catholic history.  We will exercise our feet as we walk, and we will exercise our souls as we pray. The day will be inspiring, renewing, tiring, historically enriching, and fun.”  Pilgrims of all ages are welcome to join, free of charge,  although pilgrims are asked to make a donation to a charity.

Several members of the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny made the pilgrimage last year.  Please see this link for our report and photos.
