Dear Friend,
Today is the kickoff of the Portolá 250 Pilgrimage to visit the
21 California Missions in 21 days in the footsteps of St. Junípero
Serra.
Click
here to read the exciting report of the lead up to today's kickoff
by my colleague, James Aitchison.
But let me bring you up to speed....with a tidbit from James'
blog:
"Yesterday, at 2:00 pm, Patrick Sabat,
the custodian of the World-Famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue
of Fatima came to my neighborhood driving the slightly-well more than
slightly-conspicuous Motorhome RV to pick me up to begin the journey
to visit 21 Missions in 21 Days along with my colleagues Thomas
McKenna and Anthony DeBellis.
It was my son, Alex’ birthday and what better surprise than to be
able to watch the neighborhood wonderment-what a great way to
evangelize! He expects his friends to be asking him for weeks, ‘where
is your dad now?’"
Join us for 21 days on this difficult and wonderful Portolá
pilgrimage by submitting your intentions to be presented at every
Mission!
May God bless you! May Our Lady protect you! And may St. Junípero
Serra inspire you with great love of souls and ardent missionary
zeal!
