Pilgrimages
Are you interested in embarking on a journey with spiritual significance?

When you are on a pilgrimage, there are many beautiful and holy spaces you can visit.
If you are seeking more privacy to pray and meditate you can make your way to the Shrine of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Providence, the Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Fatima Shrine, the Shrine of St. Agnes, or the Shrine of St. Joseph.

Your walk in the labyrinth should be a prayerful and meditative journey.

We have a variety of ways to encourage Providence in your life.
