As part of the vision for the Holy Souls Crusade,
we aim to bring pilgrimages from Ireland to various places of worship in
Europe, especially those which have a Marian connection.
In 2003, 2004 and 2005 we have travelled as small groups to Garabandal in Northern Spain and also to Medjugorje. We acknowledge that the Church is still investigating both of these places and await their decision on their authenticity. Having said that, great graces have accrued from our visits to both so we decided to include them in pilgrimage itineraries for the Holy Souls in 2006. Garabandal will be a return pilgrimage in October 2007. Another area we feel is important to visit, if possible, is Poland, travelling in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II. Auschwitz is probably one of the biggest cemetaries in the world with its own sad and terrible history. We feel the need not only to pray for the souls of those who died there, but also for the souls of those who committed or assisted in the dreadful crimes of that place. In November of 2006 two of us were priviledged and blessed to be able to go to Poland and as a result, and much prayer, have decided to organise two pilgrimages to Poland for 2007. One will be in August, specifically for young people (18 to 30 year olds) as a Retreat spending 3 nights at Auschwitz and a Pilgrimage to the Divine Mercy Shrine spending 4 nights; the second, for all ages, in November to the Divine Mercy Shrine for 7 nights. Both of these will include trips to Czestochowa (the Black Madona of Jasna Gora), Wadowice, Pope John Paul II's birthplace, Kalwaria, Poland's Calvary, and Krakow. Our November pilgrimage will include a day trip to Auschwitz.
