Maternity of Mary & Holy Childhood Pilgrimage to France
I am delighted to invite you to discover some of the treasures of my homeland. This pilgrimage is, first and foremost, meant to be a profound spiritual journey—an opportunity to pray, to deepen our faith, and to walk together in places shaped by centuries of Catholic life. At the same time, drawing on my roots and with the help of a close friend who is a professional guide, I have carefully designed an itinerary that will immerse you in the northern part of France: its sacred sites, rich history, enduring culture, and renowned gastronomy. This pilgrimage is truly a unique experience—conceived by a French priest for his American parishioners.
—Fr. Philippe Vigneron, Chaplain
