All Saints, All Souls, All sinners Night pilgrimage
FRIDAY NOV, 3 TO MORNING SATURDAY NOV, 4TH
pilgrimage from St Jospeh's (Salem) to St. Mary's (Shaw)
We will be gathering at St Joseph Church for registration. The participation fee of $30 includes our safety and support vehicles, port-a-potty, snacks, dinner and a ride back to Salem.
A full packing list will be provided to registered participants. But just to give you an idea, you're going to want a safety jacket for visibility, comfortable walking shoes, a small backpack with snacks, adequate clothing for the unpredictable Oregon climate (think rain, and wind), a water bottle, and a prayer devotion that you are willing to share with one of your walking pilgrims.
Spirituality of Pilgrimages
A pilgrim usually undertakes a pilgrimage in order to:
- Ask God for a special petition or intention.
- As a form of penance for themselves or others
- Thanksgiving to God
As you spiritually prepare, consider how God may be calling you to make this pilgrimage: petition, penance, or thanksgiving. There is much to pray for in 2022.
Ready to sign up?
Payment will be collected at start at St Joseph 's.
*Pre-Registered Pilgrims will be given transportation from St Mary's (Shaw) back to St Joseph (Salem) at the end of the pilgrimage, snacks and food. Register below for the Pilgrimage or to get more information on where to join us!
