The Fond du Lac Pilgrimage is the high point of the Province of Christ the King's liturgical life. Its focus and emphasis is personal sanctity. Our times and our civilization cry out for Christian heroes. Although it is not possible for most of us to be presidents, billionaires, senators, or popes; we can all become saints.
