Prayer during the Pilgrimage
Pilgrims of all ages walk in `brigades' (groups of 15 to 35), under a patron saint. Brigades are formed by laymen who sing hymns, direct meditations, recite the Holy Rosary and other prayers. Pilgrims live according to the mandateof Our Lord and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost - friendship & prayer sustaining each pilgrim on his spiritual way.
Priests and religious accompany the pilgrims along the way, hear confessions, give private spiritual counsel, teach.
Holy Mass, the 1962 Roman missal, is offered each day in accord with Pope Benedict XVI's motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum. Glorious instrument of prayer, the traditional Latin Mass stresses the universal character of the Church, and is offered in a most solemn manner at the Auriesville Coliseum Church on Saturday.
