Yikes!

I had made airline reservations two months ago for Aug 15th!!!!! I hope I can change my reservations.....
I notice that I can't find their website either, where they usually had the pilgrimage information.

Thanks for the information!

The times change, and so do web pages :-)
I should have searched more diligently before I made my reservations..... Not too late to change them, thankfully.

I found their new website at:

Thanks, Steve, for posting the new website about the Shrine and the pilgrimage. Please disregard my last PM. I hadn't seen this post when I sent it. Now I have checked the website for the weekend schedule so my questions are answered.


In Christ and the Theotokos,

Wow, this sounds insanely cool! I've made the decision to go, and I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my Latin pastor. There is a wonderful group of people who have a Tuesday night Mass in Honor of the Blessed Mother and a rosary as well... Do large groups of Latins often go on this pilgrimage? I doubt that very many of them even know about the Eastern churches and I'm fairly certain that none have been to a Divine Liturgy, but I think it could be a good experience for them. Should I bring it up or just let it slide?
