"We go as pilgrims to pray with existence, as Pope Francis says. Pray to Our Lady with existence, Our Lady who is the alliance of life between people and who listens to her pilgrims," said Prof. Guzman Carriquiry
The pilgrimage, entitled "Our Lady of Guadalupe, Star of the New Evangelization," will begin with a video message from Pope Francis on Nov. 16th and will last until Nov. 19th, allowing time for both prayer and discussion of current issues within the Americas.
The pilgrimage is co-sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, and will include an addresss by Carl Anderson, the group's Supreme Knight.
