Today a group of six Secular Franciscans from our fraternity made a pilgrimage to the Kateri Shrine at Fonda, New York. We got going around 5:15 AM to make the two-hundred-fifty mile trip from our homes to the Kateri Shrine. We got to the shrine in time for Mass. It was an event that had been in our planning for some time. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our time at the both the Kateri Shrine and later at the nearby Martyrs Shrine in Auriesville, New York. We stopped on the way home for a lovely dinner in Pittsford, New York.

Hi Don,
I just barely missed you. As we were traveling back from Ontario on Monday and Tuesday (from a spot very close to the Jesuit Martyr’s shrine in Midlands) we seriously considered dropping in at Auriesville as we passed between Syracuse and Albany, but our trip had been very long. I glad that you and your brothers had an enjoyable and faith-filled experience.
I was at the Jesuit Martyrs Shrine in Midlands about 3 years ago. That’s lovely there.
