The Pentecost Pilgrimage Paris-Chartres on June 4th-6th

After 2 years of suspension due to the pandemic, Notre-Dame de Chrétienté is resuming its 40th Pentecost pilgrimage, from Paris (Saint-Sulpice church, until Notre-Dame de Paris is rebuilt) to the cathedral of Notre Dame de Chartres.

Notre-Dame de Chrétienté, an independent organisation of unpaid and committed lay people, has worked towards promoting Christendom, understood to be the fulfillment within civic life of “the kingship of Christ over all creation and, in particular, over human societies” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Nr 2105).

Its missionary and educational work, its initiatives for the common good, and of course the pilgrimage (which is the largest walking pilgrimage in Western Europe) are all part of a commitment to national and Christian resistance, after the example of Czestochowa. Its spirit is one of mission and reconciliation. Its three pillars are TRADITION, CHRISTENDOM and MISSION.

On June 4th some 15 000 pilgrims (average age 21) will gather at 6 am in Paris for a 60-mile / 3-day march to the final Mass celebrated on June 6th, at 3 pm, in Chartres cathedral, by Father Andrzej Komorowski, Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. Only the Traditional 
Latin Mass is celebrated during this pilgrimage, by 200 priests. 

Pilgrims walk in “chapters” (40-50 people each), grouped by parish, university, families, regions or countries. Those unable to walk or be physically present with us, pray and/or walk in the “Guardian Angels” chapters (several thousands, incl. monks, nuns, local groups of pilgrims, etc.).

The organizers of the pilgrimage conclude their appeal with this request:

“We count on your prayers for the success of this pilgrimage!”
