tyrs endured deplorable conditions bringing the Faith to native Indians and ministering to the settlers. Modern day Catholics may not face death of body, but the irreligious atmosphere cries for evangelization!

What is a Pilgrimage?

A pilgrimage is a public profession of our Catholic Faith.

It is not a vacation, but a time to focus on spiritual life. Daily Mass, spiritual reflection, penance, prayer, meditation, intercession, thanksgiving, communal prayer and fellowship are a few of the spiritual goals.

Why are we Pilgrims? “I still do not know why I left, what was the reason

that launched me on the roads, but I had to leave, it is an imperious need that came,” say most pilgrims starting on the road. Long ago, they wanted to do it and intimately, but without a clear understanding in their heart, they desired “to meet God”. A pilgrimage is more than travelling. You first leave your comforta-ble daily routine to walk and to place yourself inwardly in relation to God and to yourself.

Human beings are pilgrims on earth. The decision to walk is person-al and allows them to rejoin physically that spiritual state of man who walks towards his eternal destiny.

Walking is down to earth, and yet this walk leads us to the gates of Heaven. For a time, the pilgrim puts himself in a state of voluntary poverty. Disconnect from this harassing world! Forget the accesso-ries! Walk! Far from vain daily preoccupations, move your body and free your mind to find God in His simplicity and yourself!

Our Goal This pilgrimage is an act of adoration to God, a good penance to help for the redemption of sin and sanctification, a token of thanks-giving for many graces, and a begging for our numerous spiritual and material needs.

Any sacred place is a goal for a pilgrim and the Mission Nombre de Dios is obviously the most sacred land in our country.

The presence of sacramental Christ was celebrated with the first parish Mass in this first city of the United States.

Our Lady chose this place for the first Mar-ian sanctuary of our country. On this pil-grimage to the Shrine of our Lady of La Leche prayers have been answered and several have been blessed with a La Leche Baby. Most first martyrs in North America started their journey from Saint Augustine.

At this holy place the very first Thanksgiv-ing was offered to the natives on Sep-tember 8th 1565 after Holy Mass. The Mass, called Latin Mass, Tridentine Mass, or Gregorian Mass, celebrated daily during this Pilgrimage, is the same Mass that Father Francisco Lopez celebrated for the first time at the Mission Nombre de Dios on Septem-

ber 8th 1565. Until 1969 the various Catholic liturgies were all of apostolic origin. The Gregorian Latin liturgy follows the tradition of Saint Peter, the first Pope, and has never undergone any essential change till the present time. Every gesture, every word has been weighed and measured with the assistance of the Holy Ghost for the greatest glory of God and the salvation of souls.
