Invitation

Dear Friends, I warmly invite you to join me on a special pilgrimage through Germany and Austria. Together we will visit sacred shrines, magnificent cathedrals, and places where the faith has been lived and passed on for centuries. We will pray at the Shrine of Our Lady of Altötting, honor Saint Boniface in Fulda, celebrate Mass throughout our journey, and experience the beauty of God’s creation and the rich Catholic heritage of Europe. Pilgrimages have a unique way of renewing our faith, strengthening friendships, and drawing us closer to Christ. I hope you will consider joining me as we share this unforgettable journey together. May God bless you, and I hope to welcome you on pilgrimage. Fr. Matthew Luft
