8th World Meeting of Families 

2015 in Philadelphia

 

 

The 8th World Meeting of Families will be held this year in Philadelphia, from September 22nd to 27th, 2015.

 

Pope Francis, who confirmed his presence at the largest family gathering (On September 27th, 2015) also defined the theme of the event: "Love is our mission: the family fully alive"

 

Philadelphia 2015, that rings the bell !!

The Liberty Bell, Philadelphia icon, symbolizing the gathering of American citizens on the occasion of the declaration of independence in 1776 and the abolition of slavery. That same bell announces the good news of the family. Father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, grandparents, aunts and uncles are invited to gather around Christ.

 

Spiritours organizes various motor coach departures between September 21st and September 28th, with the dioceses of Quebec, Montreal and Sherbrooke. Transportation, accommodation and participation to the conference are offered to Quebec's families.

TESTIMONIAL 

PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND

 

A group of 30 pilgrims set off from Montreal on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. At Zurich airport, while we waited for our flight to Tel-Aviv, Fr. Francis McKee led us in a short Morning Prayer to praise and worship with his guitar. How it must have pleased the heart of God to see His faithful openly dedicating their day to Him!

 

 

Our pilgrimage consisted of four nights in Nazareth and six nights in Jerusalem and for each of these focal points, we covered a good part of the country and its sacred sites. From Nazareth, the birthplace of Jesus, to Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, we went up and down the country where Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the apostles lived. One of the highlights of our pilgrimage was being able to celebrate daily Eucharist in special churches...

 

   

POLAND
In the footsteps of saint John Paul II
 

Fr. J. Bessert & Sr. C. Gretka invite you on pilgrimage

From June 15th until 24th, 2015

10 days & 8 nights

 

Let yourself be seduced by southern Poland and the former capital city of Krakow. Located along the Vistula, Krakow is defined as the cradle of Polish culture and as the hometown of Blessed John Paul II, a man of charismatic faith that has profoundly marked the history of Poland.


 

Gather in Czestochowa, the most important place of pilgrimage of Poland known for the miraculous icon of the Black Virgin; visit Wadowice, the birthplace of Karol Wajtyla (Pope John Paul II); breathe the fresh air of the Tatras (the Carpathians), these unique Polish mountains with an alpine character where Pope loved hiking and skiing.  Pologne_Cracovie

 

Other iconic figures also participated in the Christian influence of this country including Saint Faustina who offered her life for the salvation of the souls of sinners (Sanctuary of the Divine Mercy in Lagiewniki) and St. Maximilian Kolbe who in the Auschwitz camp, took the place of a father sentenced to death.

This exceptional pilgrimage is also the opportunity to visit prestigious landmarks such as the mines of salt of Wieliczka and the Tatras mountains.
