A final message from Dad

A final message from Dad:

"What a wonderful and beautiful Pilgrimage this was! I am sorry to see it come to an end, but thinking about it we can continue to live it everyday! We were very blessed to have Fr. Joe lead our spiritual journey and for Dennis to be our Pilgrimage leader. And what great tour guides throughout our journey!  What also was very special were all of our fellow Pilgrims. They are all beautiful people and we were so blessed to get to know them. I was so happy to share my faith and this Pilgrimage with them all!

Visiting Poland was also special to me, as this is my heritage and I was able to be in areas where my parents were so many years ago. And getting to meet a cousin and his family while we were there was just wonderful. I thank The Lord for blessing us with so many beautiful experiences throughout the Pilgrimage. We learned so much!

But making this trip extra, extra special was being able to share it with my beautiful daughter Lindsay! Spending this special time with her, sharing our Faith and our experiences, and talking with her is something I will treasure all of my life! I appreciate her husband Joe, my wife Marilyn, and my son Justin for encouraging Lindsay to be with me on this Pilgrimage. That was truly a gift for me.

I thank The Lord for keeping us all safe and bringing us all back to our families. I thank Fr. Joe for sending me that invite last Fall. This Pilgrimage will be with me forever!"
