Hello,
My question is what makes a location worthy of a pilgrimage. I live in Hawaii, so a pilgrimage to one of the major shrines is impractical. Is a local Cathedral considered pilgrimage worthy my virtue of it being a Cathedral. There are relics to St. Damien and St. Marianne of Molokai at the Cathedral.
There are places which my diocese lists as Shrines. However, the reason I would prefer not to go there regularly is the way the island is set up compared to where I live. I would prefer to do a “local pilgrimage” by walking. This is possible with the Cathedral, but the shrines it isn’t because they are on the other side of the island and the only way out there involves going on a major highway.
I will be happy to answer any questions to clarify my question/ situation.
Thanks in advance.
