Invoking the intercession of America’s saints and martyrs, the pilgrims pray that Catholic Faith restore every dimension of their lives: their hearts, families, workplaces, parishes, neighborhoods, cities, dioceses, the American nations.
The pilgrimage is an exercise of penance and prayer, of contradiction and restoration, having both a personal and social character. Modeled on the annual Pentecost Pilgrimage to Notre-Dame de Chartres, France, the pilgrims embrace the traditional doctrine and practice of Holy Church, with all its demands.
A special intention of the pilgrimage is restoration of the Catholic family, civil society and the specifically Roman liturgical tradition. Being attached to Church’s ancient liturgy, with all the riches it contains, brings many blessings on contemporary man, who needs the healing that only the true Church, its doctrine and its praxis, can offer.
