“Awakened By the Holy Spirit: Discover. Discern. Be Sent”
Paulist Fathers Pilgrimage to France 2027
Dear Friends,
It is my great joy to invite you to join the Paulist Fathers on our pilgrimage to Paris, Lisieux, and Lourdes in November 2027. Together, we will visit places made holy by the faith of the saints, deepen our relationship with Christ, and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit.
A Pilgrimage renews our faith, strengthens community, and helps us discover God’s presence in new ways. I hope you will prayerfully consider joining Fr. James, Fr. Chris, and me for this special journey of prayer, discovery, discernment, and faith.
- Fr. René Constanza, C.S.P.
Please Note: This pilgrimage follows in the footsteps of the saints, often quite literally. Expect about 3 to 4 miles of walking each day, including hills, stairs and centuries-old cobblestone streets where coaches cannot go. To fully take part, travelers should be able to walk independently at a steady pace and stand for extended periods during Mass and guided visits.
