Gauging Interest: Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage – ALMS Chapter | May 27-30, 2023

ALMS is organizing a chapter of the 2023 Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage in France, organized by the Association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté ("Our Lady of Christendom").
This pilgrimage covers approximately 60 miles over three days, May 27-30, 2023, from the Cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris to the Cathedral Notre-Dame de Chartres.
There will be Mass every day in the traditional Roman Rite, along with plenty of opportunities to pray the Rosary, have confessions heard, sing hymns, and grow in fellowship with the more than 10,000 pilgrims who attend each year from around the world.
Please fill out this form to express your serious interest in joining us: https://forms.gle/LGtj2RcK63EfSC8Z7
We are in the early stages of organizing the ALMS chapter. The primary purpose of this questionnaire is to gauge interest. While not a commitment to attend, we ask that you only submit a response if you have a serious interest in joining us.
Our local First Saturday Pilgrimages (see below) are geared towards physical and spiritual preparation for this pilgrimage – come join us!

Saturday, March 25, 2023: 2nd Semi-Annual National Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage

After the great success of the first Summorum Pilgrimage last month, and mindful that the present restrictions on the TLM can never be allowed to become the New Normal, we have decided to make the Pilgrimage a semi-annual occurrence.
Save the date! The 2nd Semi-Annual Pilgrimage will take place on the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saturday, March 25, 2023 – a providential contradiction to the Arlington diocese's restrictions that took effect on the Feast of the Nativity of Mary this year.
Further details will be announced as we approach the day. In the meantime, please share the date with your friends and family – we're hoping to draw an even larger turnout than last month's pilgrimage!
