Invitation

Beloved Parishioners of St. Elizabeth, As your pastor, it brings me great joy to personally invite you to join me on a parish pilgrimage to Portugal, Spain, and France. Our St. Elizabeth community is a loving, faith-filled parish. While many of us have traveled or gone on pilgrimages individually, there is a special grace in making a pilgrimage together—as one parish family. It deepens our faith, strengthens our bonds, and renews our love for Christ and His Church. In the midst of today’s busy and noisy world, stepping away for a sacred pilgrimage allows us to refocus our hearts on God. These are not vacations—they are powerful spiritual experiences that open us to God’s grace through prayer, reflection, and sacred encounters. We will visit holy sites where saints lived, prayed, and were transformed: In Portugal, we’ll walk in the footsteps of St. Anthony in Lisbon and visit Fatima, where Our Lady appeared to the three shepherd children. In Spain, we’ll visit Salamanca, Burgos, Garabandal, and Loyola, the birthplace of St. Ignatius. In France, we will conclude in Lourdes, where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette, and where countless pilgrims have found healing and peace. This pilgrimage will be a time to pray in gratitude, lift up the needs of our families, and ask God’s blessings for our parish and our Church. If I am not mistaken, this will be the first parish-wide pilgrimage in our 135-year history—a truly grace-filled milestone. I warmly encourage you to prayerfully consider joining us. Space is limited, so please make your reservation soon. Let us walk this sacred path together, united in faith, hope, and love. In Christ’s peace and love, Fr. Raju Macherla Pastor, St. Elizabeth Catholic Church
