Walking with the Saints: A Pilgrimage for St. Joseph

Who: All are welcome. All youth (under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an adult.

What: A 3.5-mile walking pilgrimage

Where: From St. Mary’s in Lowertown (267 E 8th St Ste #100, St Paul, MN 55101) to the Church of St. Joseph in West St. Paul (1154 Seminole Ave, St Paul, MN 55118)

Why: To carry our intentions to St. Joseph, in anticipation of his feast day

When: Saturday, March 16. Pilgrimage begins with opening prayers at 9 AM. We will reach our destination around 11 AM. After closing in prayer and offering up your intentions, all are invited to join for a beverage or brunch in fellowship at Amore Coffee (less than a mile from St. Joe’s).

How: In the interest of simplicity and keeping this a regular, free opportunity for embodied prayer and fellowship, transportation is not provided for this pilgrimage. We recommend: (a) arranging with someone else to drop you off and/or pick you up on either end; (b) recruiting a friend to join you and dropping one car at the end before 9, then driving together to the start; (c) being prepared to ride share or take public transportation back to the start; or (d) walking back!

The Church of St. Joseph has an 8 AM daily Mass on Saturdays, so if you and companion(s) are dropping a vehicle there for the end, consider going a little early to participate in the Sacrament!
