Bp Piché(MinnStP) to lead Year of Faith pilgrimage to La Crosse shrine

To inaugurate the Year of Faith, Bishop Lee Piché [Minn/St Paul] will lead a pilgrimage on Oct. 2 [a Tuesday] to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wis.

“In these days when we encounter much confusion and divisiveness in our culture, we have the opportunity to journey in solidarity with those we love and with whom we live and work,” said Jean Stolpestad, director of the archdiocesan Office of Marriage, Family and Life, which is sponsoring the pilgrimage. “We will lay all the intentions of our archdiocese at the feet of our Blessed Mother, asking her to accompany us and show us how to journey to a deeper union with her Son.”

The pilgrimage includes a coach bus ride to and from La Crosse, tour of the shrine, reflection on the Year of Faith by Bishop Piché, Mass, time for individual prayer and Stations of the Cross, lunch and a light dinner on the ride home.

Buses will depart at 7 a.m. from St. Peter in Mendota, St. John the Baptist in New Brighton, Our Lady of Grace in Edina and All Saints in Lakeville.

The Lakeville bus ride includes a 7:30 a.m. pick up at Divine Mercy in Faribault. Buses will return at approximately 7 p.m.

I would go on this because I know the Bishop but I think it's all old people who will be on the bus and they'll probably want me to lead the singing. What?
