A Visit To the Shrine of the North American Martyrs

Our annual pilgrimage to Auriesville, New York – this year, unavoidably, in advance of the official “Pilgrimage for the Restoration.” The weather was glorious, but very few visitors or pilgrims were about. Often, however, the grounds of the shrine are most impressive, the experience most spritual, when visited in silence. The shrine in the best condition I have seen in years – the current management is a vast improvement over the Jesuits.
