Mocanaqua Parish Announces Plans to Hold ‘Walking Pilgrimage’ July 13

MOCANAQUA — A traditional “walking pilgrimage” is planned by Holy Spirit Parish for Saturday, July 13, beginning at St. Mary’s Church in Mocanaqua and ending at St. Adalbert Church in Glen Lyon.

The pilgrimage will begin at 8 a.m. with confessions and prayers at St. Mary’s Church, 130 Rectory Road, Mocanaqua.

More than 30 worshipers made the journey from Mocanaqua to Glen Lyon during last year’s Holy Spirit Parish “walking pilgrimage.”

The pilgrim brigade will then travel approximately six miles through the Mocanaqua Tract of Pinchot State Forest, concluding with Holy Mass at St. Adalbert. Lunch will be served and bus transportation back to Mocanaqua will be available.

The public is invited to participate in the pilgrimage, either by walking or by submitting prayer requests to be carried by pilgrims.

To register, contact Raphael Micca at (570) 301-9253 or email [email protected] by July 7.

The pilgrimage will take place in all weathers. Participants are requested to dress accordingly and modestly.
