Many of us may be seeking new ways of spiritually preparing ourselves and our family for the challenges of daily life. The state of the world and of the Church sometimes trouble us too. To weather this storm, we must stay close to Our Lady. We should offer sacrifices and penances through her, for the liberty and exaltation of Holy Mother the Church. One concrete way to do this is to sign up for the Marie Reine du Canada pilgrimage which was founded by St. Clement parishioners 22 years ago. Taking place on Labour Day weekend, it is a 100km walk in the footsteps of the Canadian martyrs, along the St. Lawrence river, to the miraculous shrine of Our Lady of the Cape. Much like the famous Chartres pilgrimage in France, there is daily Mass and confession in beautiful Quebecois churches, as well as sung rosaries and hymns, joyful folk songs, and much camaraderie. Pilgrims hold flags, support one another, and peacefully witness to the one true Faith to local residents. If you are not able to walk, you can still participate by being a worker pilgrim. This is a very affordable weekend full of prayerful work for heavenly merit! More information below.
