Note: All activities on the Pilgrimage are optional. You are of course free to do as little or as much as you like. If you are not interested in the DHOS tour, the time between 10-12 Noon is specifically set aside and can be spent by going to the nearby Shrine of Saint John Paul II ( presumably a vehicle will be available if not amenable to walking), Confession, visit to the Bookstore/Gift shop, or simply spent in private prayer or further exploring the Shrine.
12 Noon Gather at the Crypt Church for Holy Mass. Immediately following the Mass, the Stations of the Cross are prayed in the Crypt Church.
After Stations of the Cross (approximately 1:30) depart Shrine and head to local pub for luncheon ( drivers are treated ).
3:00 p.m. Depart for RichmondWe currently have 17 folks signed up from St. Bridget, but I only have 2 land yacht drivers enlisted (Charlie and Tony), and Ron, who has room for 4. So, we might need 1 more vehicle. I’ll also check with the St. Edward group, they may have an extra seat?
Peace be with you..
