Beginning December 5, Fr. Kevin McCracken, C.M., and a group of pilgrims will make a special Advent pilgrimage of prayer and remembrance. The river cruise on the historic Danube River will take the pilgrims to inspiring churches, Christmas markets, the important Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Svata Hora, and the original statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague. We hope you will join us in spirit and prayer on this journey of faith in Advent by sending your petitions to be remembered in the Masses and prayers offered during the pilgrimage. Say this Advent prayer and one Hail Mary each day of Advent, especially during the days of the Association’s pilgrimage, December 5–16. In commemoration of this pilgrimage, we are offering a beautiful authentic German Holy Family Wood Christmas Ornament. Supplies are limited.

Follow the pilgrimage itinerary, each day of the pilgrimage. You can also follow Fr. Kevin and the other pilgrims each day of their pilgrimage on our pilgrimage photo gallery, Facebook, or Twitter.
