Fr. Rale Pilgrimage

The annual Fr. Rale pilgrimage to Madison, Maine will be held on Saturday, August 20th.

Fr. Sebastian Rale was a missionary to the Abenakis of Maine who was killed by an English militia in 1724. Pilgrims will meet at St. Sebastian Church in Madison at 9:30 AM for a holy hour with reflections on the life of Fr. Rale.

A procession through the grounds of the Narantsouack mission will follow, ending at the Fr. Rale monument. The pilgrimage will conclude by 1 PM. Young adults are invited to meet for lunch following the pilgrimage.
