As the year of the Parish continues, we turn our thoughts and activity towards "pilgrimage." Whether you join with other Catholics across the country on pilgrimage to the Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis in July, join parishioners on a local pilgrimage to St Edwards in Little Rock or plan you own (see www.Eucharisticpilgrimage.org for ideas). Plan now for your unique experience. Watch the bulletin for more information on the national or local pilgrimage the Spring & Summer.
