Hello, dear friends!
I would like to invite each of you to consider attending our pilgrimage to Rome, Assisi, and Medjugorje or passing along the information to someone you know would like to make a pilgrimage. Our final deadline for registration is February 1st, 2014.
Our chaplain, Fr. Angelo, would like very much to return to Medjugorje in thanksgiving to God and the Blessed Mother for his vocation. After his first trip to Medjugorje, he received his call to the priesthood. I would really love to give him the chance to go!
Please consider taking our pilgrimage itinerary to your prayer group or Bible study. Many college students I know love to take pilgrimages in the summer. You never know who God may be calling...

Holy Mass in the ancient Chapel of Tears. Afternoon visit to the Family Home/Birth Place of St. Francis and to the Basilica of St. Clare to see the still incorrupt body of St. Clare. We will pray in front of the same crucifix from which Christ spoke to Francis. Visit the Basilica of St Francis and the Crypt Tomb of St Francis. Dinner.
MAY 23rd ASSISI - ROME Breakfast. Depart for Rome, stop at the Portiuncola Chapel for Mass.

Dinner.

In 1933 the villagers built a 30’ high cross on the anniversary of Jesus’ crucifixion on top of Cross Mountain. We will climb the mountain through the Stations of the Cross. Also, visit and pray at “Blue Cross”, a place of prayer at the foot of Podbrdo. We will have the chance to attend meetings and talks with parish priests (subject to their availability and health during our trip). We will also visit the community of Cenacolo (a rehab center).
