The pilgrimage, now in its 30th year, is a journey of the faithful to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs. Here, Jesuit Father Isaac Jogues and Companions were martyred, beginning with lay-brother René Goupîl and several Native American Converts in 1642, and later layman John de LaLande and Jogues himself in 1646.

Since 1996, pilgrims walk near and along the paths the saints followed as captives of the Iroquois. Their journey was hundreds of miles over 28 days under torture. Our journey, modeled on the ancient annual Pentecost Pilgrimage to Notre-Dame de Chartres, France, is 62 miles over 3 days and, though penitential, is full of joy. Our purpose is to honor Christ Our King publicly, to pray for the restoration of His Reign in the family and civil society, and to make reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Bishop Scharfenberger will celebrate a 4pm Mass in conjunction with the NYS Knights of Columbus annual pilgrimage. Mass is open to the public.

The Franciscan Capuchin priest of Pietrelcina, Italy, was a mystic and stigmatist known for his ability to read hearts in the confessional. His Masses were sometimes extended for hours as he became enraptured during the Holy Sacrifice.
