Pilgrimage is "a sign of closeness and solidarity for the Christian
communities that live there and that are in great need of your help."
-Pope John Paul II
"All pilgrimages are entrusted to Saint Joseph our Patron Saint of Pilgrimages. He who led and protected the Holy Family on earth will now do the same for us pilgrims from his place in Heaven."
-Franciscan Father Alex Kratz, Pilgrimage Spiritual Director
