France Pilgrimage 2023

 Pilgrims waiting for our flight to begin a pilgrimage to France to pray for vocations. Visiting tomb of St John Vianney and St Therese of Lisieux. Pray for and with us on this holy journey.


Arrived in Ars, a bonus to have our opening Mass at the Basilica with the tomb of St John Vianney! We will return in the morning for Mass at his tomb


Wonderful day in Ars, learning the life of St John Vianney, celebrating Mass at his tomb, praying for vocations and our priests, hearing Confessions - what a blessing!





We continue our pilgrimage for vocations in France… we’ve prayed with St Margaret Marie and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and St Bernadette. Made a visit to the cathedral in Chartes on our way to Liseux. Please continue praying with and for us!





Today we prayed in the Basilica in Liseux with our patron Saint for Vocations. We also blessed marriages of our pilgrims at the tomb of Sts. Louis and Zellie Martin. What a blessing and inspiration to be here.




Our pilgrimage for vocations has come to an end - today is our travel day home. We finished yesterday with a visit to Sacre-Coeur. Many graces from the trip will be carried forward in my heart and ministry. Thank you God! Continue to pray for vocations.
