About this Event
The Midwest Marian Pilgrimage is devoted to the Protection of the Mother of God and the Mother of God Searcher for the Lost. It is an invitation to those who are burdened to rest, to entrust themselves to our Mother's care, and to pray for those who are far from Jesus. The pilgrimage will take place on the church grounds, using the gardens, hall and church for prayer and activities. Parking is located next to the hall and will be free to those with registration. Out-of-town pilgrims can stay in hotels nearby or request to stay with a host family. We are excited to share in prayer, worship and fellowship, led by our bishop, Bishop Robert Pipta of Parma, Ohio.
