One Day Pilgrimage to National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe – July 15th and September 6th

In this Jubilee Year, we celebrate “Pilgrims of Hope” and are called to take a pilgrimage to visit a designated Jubilee site. Elizabeth Ministry International’s Zechariah House is hosting a one day pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We invite your parish to gather as a group and load buses at St. Katherine Drexel in Kaukauna, WI for this prayerful pilgrimage.

Two opportunities: July 15th and September 6th.

You may register at: www.elizabethministry.org/events or call 888-524-0557.

Need a place to gather as a group? Rent Zechariah House and host a customized retreat or pilgrimage. Book a room, explore the 4 WI Shrines, and quietly reflect at the on-site chapel. Accommodations up to 50 people overnight.
