All are welcome to join the Saint Katharine Drexel Parish sponsored Pilgrimage to Hanover, Pennsylvania on Tuesday June 4th.
We will walk, pray and dine with the pilgrims on the ‘Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Route’. They will have begun a two-month long journey on May 16th from Hartford, Connecticut and will have traveled many miles visiting parishes and other points of interest along the way. We are invited and perhaps called to gather with our pilgrim brother and sisters offering and receiving prayers as they move forward towards the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana in July. This pilgrim route is one of four routes originating in one of the four corners of these United States of America.
We will spend the day in Hanover, Pennsylvania with the pilgrims. We will visit the (3) three churches in the area, receive a tour and presentation, enjoy lunch and dinner and pray before they continue onto Baltimore and Washington, DC.
