Seminarian Joseph Moreshead will lead Fr. Rale Pilgrimage on August 11 visiting the places he preached and ministered. Those gathered at this special pilgrimage in Madison on Saturday, August 11, will have the opportunity to experience a walk in the historic footsteps of Fr. Sebastian Râle. All are welcome to attend.
 
A bus will depart from Holy Martyrs in Falmouth at 7:00 am and return at 3:00 pm. There is no charge for attending. Light snacks will be provided but  you are encouraged to pack a lunch. You may also meet us at 9:00 am at Notre Dame Church, 273 Water Street in Skowhegan.
 
There will be several opportunities for prayer and meditation during the pilgrimage, and excerpts from letters written by or about Father Râle will be read along with Scripture passages. The pilgrimage will conclude with a procession at the site of  the old mission at Old Pointe in Madison , Maine. The procession is roughly a half mile; for those unable to do the walk please bring a lawn chair since prayers will be recited simultaneously at the Fr. Rale Monument.
