Sanctuary Pilgrimage

There are places that God chooses for people to experience his presence.

Saint John Paul II

Pilgrimage: A Quest for Faith and Meaning

Personal or collective journey made by the faithful to a holy place for religious reasons and in a spirit of faith”, as defined by the Catholic Church in France. Today, this approach is also open to non-believers seeking to break with their habits and give meaning to their lives. Some go it alone, others travel in groups of mothers, fathers, bikers…

A shrine, a pilgrimage: Why come?

Some have faith, some don’t, but everyone is on a path of personal growth, searching for meaning in life, or looking for milestones at some point in their lives. Take the time to pray, share or practice your knowledge of religious practices. Every reason to visit the sanctuary is given.
