John Horvat describes his experience with a traveling pilgrimage of relics
John Horvat shared his reflections on the Journey of Grace, a pilgrimage involving a reliquary that visits various parishes and locations throughout the country. He noted that the relics of Saint Bernadette, the visionary of Lourdes, arrived at a parish located 15 minutes from his home.
Horvat observed a steady stream of pilgrims visiting the parish to see the relics. He compared this attendance to the crowds that gather annually at the grotto in Lourdes, France. He stated that the presence of these relics attracts large numbers of the faithful to local churches.
