From St-Joseph-de-Lanoraie to Notre-Dame-du-Cap

Three Days of Prayer, Penance, Fraternal Charity and Many Graces

Marie Reine du Canada, a lay-led apostolate of St. Clement Parish, Ottawa, organizes the annual three-day 100 km pilgrimage on foot from Saint-Joseph-de-Lanoraie to Notre-Dame-du-Cap shrine at Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Que.
A pilgrimage is a journey made to a holy place or shrine for the sanctification of the pilgrim; with the purpose of venerating a saint or martyr associated with the site; to pray to God; to ask for supernatural aid; to give thanks for favours received; or to discharge a religious obligation. The arduous journey, offered joyfully to God, represents our spiritual pilgrimage to the Heavenly City.

Masses to prepare for the pilgrimage:

Mon. June 25, 7:30 pm
Mon. July 9, 7:30 pm
Mon. Aug. 13, 7:30 pm

All will take place at St. Clement Parish (Ste. Anne Church), Ottawa.

Mass is celebrated each day of the pilgrimage in the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite, the traditional liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has expressed the desire that the Tridentine Latin Mass according to the 1962 Missal of Blessed Pope John XIII should flourish and continue to enrich our spiritual lives, particularly among the young. Our chaplains are priests of the Fraternity of St. Peter (www.fssp.org), canonically established by Pope John Paul II in 1988.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated in parish churches along the route – in Berthierville, Yamachiche, and in the historic Small Shrine of Our Lady of the Cape at Cap de la Madeleine – with the blessing of the Bishops of Joliette and of Trois-Rivieres, and the local parish priests.

Oh yes, this is a great pilgrimage! I pray I can go some time. There, and Walsingham, and every other shrine in the world of course 😉
