Pilgrimage to Darien: St. Therese, pray for us!

 

It has been many years since the Peoria Diocesan Council of Catholic Women hosted a pilgrimage, but when we learned about relics of St. Louis & Zellie (parents of St Therese of Lisieux) coming to the National Shrine of St. Therese in Darien Illinois, we knew we had to go!

A full-length account can be found in The Catholic Post HERE. (Pictures are also from The Catholic Post, used with permission.)

Thank you to all who joined us for this special day of prayer and sisterhood!  

Our PDCCW Board of Directors is praying about a future pilgrimage visit.  Stay tuned and become a member today!

Pray the Rosary this Month with PDCCW!
