Brother Andre Marie wrote the following letter in support of the fifteenth annual pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of the North American Martyrs. Pilgrimage is something which has become a much more popular devotion in past years as we continue our work of restoration:
Palmer — a pilgrim returning from the Holy Land, palm branches in hand.
Alms — money or goods given as an act of charity.

Dear Friend,
You might call it “alms for palms”.
For as long as Christians have been making pilgrimage, they have known that no one in the Church goes it alone — ever.
Some go by giving. Others give by going.
Every pilgrim who returns palm in hand, knows he has gone hand in hand with those who have supported him by prayers and alms.
Whether from home or highway, everyone can participate in the annual Pilgrimage for Restoration.
