Join Fr. Daniel Cruz and St. Joan of Arc on a Pilgrimage to France
Join Fr. Daniel Cruz and St. Joan of Arc Parish on a pilgrimage to France, tracing the footsteps of faith, history, and devotion. This journey will begin in Rouen, where you will deepen your connection to your patron saint, St. Joan of Arc, exploring the very place of her martyrdom. In Lisieux, you will walk in the footsteps of St. Thérèse, the Little Flower, drawing inspiration from her childlike trust in God. The pilgrimage also includes a visit to the breathtaking Mont St. Michel, a medieval monastery rising from the sea, and to Normandy, where faith and history intertwine on the solemn shores of the D-Day landings. In Paris, the City of Light, you will visit sacred sites, including Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Miraculous Medal Shrine. A high-speed train will then whisk you to Lourdes, where you will experience the profound peace and healing graces of the grotto where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette. This pilgrimage promises to be a journey of spiritual renewal, deepening faith, and profound encounters with the saints of France.
