Freshman Pilgrimage stops at St Mark's on Bradley University campus and St Joseph's, Sacred Heart and the Cathedral of St Mary's of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Peoria. The Class of '28 was on their best behavior today and it made for a fantastic trip. We prayed a decade of the Rosary at each stop, learned about the beautiful artwork and walked through the Fulton J. Sheen museum. Our day ended with lots of trips to the buffet at Pizza Ranch. What a blessed day! God is good.
Freshman Pilgrimage- Off to a good start this morning. The Class of '28 began their pilgrimage to the tomb of Venerable Fulton Sheen in Peoria with a stop at Corpus Christi in Galesburg. Fr Stirniman told us that the gothic style of the church inspires us to look up... with its tall spires (it inspires!), it's very high ceilings, its tall windows... reminding us to look to Heaven, our true home.
Students also saw the full body relic of St Crescent; a young martyr from the third century. God is good!!!
