As Mike K mentioned at our February meeting:
Save the date of Saturday, March 11 for our annual Pilgrimage to Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Tentative plans:
Depart by carpool from St. Bridget at about 6:15-6:30 a.m. and try to return by about 6:00 p.m. The day consists of (each person picks and chooses what to devote their time to) a guided tour, private prayer, Confessions, Holy Mass, Stations of the Cross, and the opportunity to stop by the bookstore/gift shop). Sometimes, in between the tour and Mass, some of the guys make a quick side trip to the Dominican House of Studies to pray the Rosary in their chapel or to the Shrine of Saint Pope John Paul II. After Stations of the Cross in the Crypt Church at the Shrine, we usually adjourn to The Dubliner or Irish Times near Union Station for a late lunch before returning to Richmond.
