Assistance & transportation
Water, first aid and transportation are provided all four days by volunteers of the Company of St. René Goupil.
The Company transports weary pilgrims and those pilgrims who can no longer walk, or, in emergency, brings them to the hospital.
Those pilgrims not reasonably expected to meet the physical demands of long-distance walking and penetential victuals and camping are asked to join the 'modified pilgrimage'.
Pilgrims must carry their own canteens, and prepare for their own basic first aid: 'blister-kits', aspirin & the like.
ALL PILGRIMS PARTICIPATE AT THEIR OWN RISK, MUST OBTAIN THEIR OWN AND SPOUSE/CHILDREN'S PERSONAL MEDICAL INSURANCE, & MUST SIGN RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM ON REGISTRATION FORM.
For pilgrims to recover vehicles at events' end, organizers provide shuttle-service Tuesday (only) from Fonda Shrine to lodgings in Lake George Village. Pilgrims must request this service after registering. See the F.A.Q.'s.
Important Note: Prior to finalizing flight reservations, please contact Bob Whealan (in
charge of shuttling pilgrims) to be sure he and his team of volunteers can
meet your arrival-time connections, and so that you can meet your departure-time connections. Robert Whealan windedbuffalo@yahoo.com or 973/239-3632.
