[UPDATES: Pictures are now posted (I gave up on GoLive CS and had to buy the CS2 version—grrr!), and you can also read this account of the pilgrimage from a new St. Louis seminarian!]
The seminarians from the St. Louis Archdiocese and I returned this evening from a pilgrimage to La Crosse, WI led by Archbishop Raymond Burke (St. Louis' current archbishop), a native of the La Crosse diocese. There were many beautiful moments during the pilgrimage, and many beautiful places in La Crosse. I only have a few pictures here, but I will post more later (once I get some time).
The main chapel at La Crosse's diocesan center
(where the Archbishop attended Seminary).
I didn't know squirrels came in black!
The Ninja Squirrel, anyone?
Shrine of Our Lady of Guadelupe
(under construction).
Adoration in the Mary of the Angels Chapel
(Fransiscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration).
All in all, the pilgrimage was extraordinary, and I am very excited to return in about one week to the Seminary to begin my senior year in the College program, along with about 20 new men studying for our Archdiocese (that's the most we've had in many years!).
