Celebrating 75 Years!
St. Jane Frances De Chantal Parish Pilgrimage to Tour Shrines of France
Update: I know many of you have been wondering what the status is with our France pilgrimage. I spoke with Fr. Carl as well as Collette, and we have decided to push back the trip to 2022. There just seems to be a few unknowns and some hesitations with traveling this Fall. Just recently, Fr. Carl learned that there had been another Archdiocese parish planning a pilgrimage to France for their 100th Anniversary year, and they are in a similar situation as us. They also went ahead and moved their trip to 2022. So with that said, we are planning on moving the date to Fall 2022. The exact date is in the works. Collette has to get in touch with all of the hotels and airlines and work the new schedule on their end. We are looking at traveling anytime between the end of September to the middle of October. If you are interested in signing up for next year’s trip, please call the parish office so we can add you to the list. We will be offering a Parish Pilgrimage to France. Join Fr. Carl and other fellow parishioners on this 11-day Spiritual experience; you will not want to miss it! The date for the trip is October 20, 2021. NEW pilgrims are welcome! Since we pushed back the date, we can add more people!Some Highlights:
