🌤 Katy Trail Pilgrimage — Final Day! 🌤

What a beautiful finish to an incredible week of faith, fellowship, & walking!

Today our pilgrims walked 11.0 miles, beginning in the rain & ending under bright skies — a perfect reminder of God’s grace shining through. ☀️

Fr. Tim Foy & Fr. David Hogan led our final leg, beginning at the Church of the Risen Savior in Rhineland, MO, taking the Branson Trolley to the Portland Trailhead, & walking in prayerful gratitude back to Rhineland.

Along the way, we prayed many Rosaries, lifting up all the intentions shared with us throughout the week.

Fr. Hogan gave a powerful reflection on the 5th Joyful Mystery — The Finding of Jesus in the Temple, reminding us that we, too, are called to seek & find Christ in our daily lives.

The pilgrimage concluded with Holy Mass celebrated by Fr. Foy, followed by joyful fellowship (& cake!) on the church steps. 🎂

Thank you to everyone who prayed for, supported, & walked this journey with us — physically or spiritually.
May God bless each of you for your prayers & participation!

Day 4 of the Katy Trail Pilgrimage!

Today’s 11-mile journey began at the beautiful Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows in Starkenberg, MO, where pilgrims prayed together before boarding the Branson trolley to the Case Trailhead.

From there, pilgrims walked back toward the Shrine, lifting up countless prayer intentions & praying four rosaries along the way.

Pilgrims paused in Rhineland, MO for lunch & a reflection by today’s guest priest, Fr. Stephen Schumacher, who shared an inspiring talk on the 4th Joyful Mystery—the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple.

With a sheriff es**rt leading the final climb up the hill, we returned to the Shrine for a guided tour before Fr. Tim Foy celebrated Holy Mass in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows.

We were especially blessed to be joined by students from Chesterton Academy & Holy Rosary Catholic School—their joyful presence reminded us of the next generation of faithful pilgrims walking with Mary & her Son.

Please continue to keep all of our pilgrims in your prayers as we prepare for the final day of this sacred journey!
