The event, which supports Catholic education for children, will start at the National Shrine of St. Joseph at St. Norbert Abbey in De Pere and follow a 21-mile route to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion.
Registration closed earlier this week.
“Participating in this pilgrimage is a wonderful way to engage the entire family, and especially our young people,” Bishop David Ricken of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay, said in a news release.
The registered participants hail from several states as well as Spain.
The pilgrimage starts at St. Norbert Abbey with a prayer service and send-off blessing at 7 a.m. The walk will start at about 7:20 a.m.
