Through the centuries many have stepped back from the hectic world and have gone on pilgrimages to seek this precious gift. As we celebrate our 50th Golden Anniversary, I would like to invite you to join me, parishioners and friends as we visit and embrace the incredible countries of France and Italy. Celebrate a truly special day as we visit the wonderful Shrine of Ars in southeastern France, where Saint John Vianney, the Cure of Ars, brought so many souls to Christ and where his miraculous incorruptible body remains. While in France, you will also have the opportunity to visit beautiful and inspiring locales, including Lyon, Paray, Nevers & Paris. As proclaimed by Francis, during a Jubilee Year, in each of the four major basilicas in Rome, a special entrance door is opened, a ritual that has been part of our faith for centuries. Pilgrims entering through these four doors gain the plenary indulgence connected with the Jubilee. Walk through the Holy Doors of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, and the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Delight in the opportunity of a General Papal Audience with Pope Francis on St. Peter’s Square (subject to the Holy Father’s schedule). All of this, and more, await you on our 50th Golden Jubilee Pilgrimage. In pace Christi, Rev. Troy Gately Reverend R.
