CCM students, staff and supporters went on pilgrimage to France, Spain and Portugal May 23-June 4, 2011. A busy, yet prayerful and fruitful two weeks allowed the pilgrims to visit such holy sites as the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal, Sacre Coeur, Nevers, Mt. St. Michael, Lisieux, Avila, Lourdes and Fatima.
Thanks to our many benefactors, several of our students were able to pray in the presence of the incorrupt bodies of St. Catherine Laboure, St. Bernadette Soubirous and St. Vincent de Paul. They were also able to walk on the same ground as many saints or soon-to-be-saints who have gone before us such as St. Anthony of Padua, Bl. Jacinta and Francisco Marto, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Bernadette Soubirous, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis Xavier, St. Therese of Lisieux, Bl. John Paul the Great and Sr. Lucia dos Santos.
With sincere gratitude we thank all those who made this pilgrimage possible and please know that you were in our prayers as we made our journey and you will continue to be in our prayers as we seek to grow in holiness back home at CCM.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary triumph in every heart throughout the world.
