Back From Pilgrimage

We have returned after a wonderful Pilgrimage to France! I was accompanied by the following parishioners: Marge Berry, Ruthann DiMauro, Kathleen Henne, Austin and Gerianne Horan, Lucy Lybolt, Glenn and Miriam Muse. A number of people from the region and across the country also participated. It was a joy to offer Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary Magdelene in Vezelay, at the Altar of St. John Vianney in Ars, at the Church in Paray-le-Moniel honoring St. Margaret Mary, at Chartres Cathedral, at the Basilica of St. Therese of Lisieux, at the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal - St. Catherine Laboure, and at Lourdes, both in the Basilica and at the Grotto. I had the opportunity to spend one hour at the Grotto and pray the many intentions that you gave me. You were in my prayers throughout!
