As we approach 2011, we are celebrating the 200^th Anniversary of the Birth and Baptism of our saintly founder - Peter Julian Eymard. As a Congregation and individual provinces, we will mark this event in many different ways throughout the coming year. One special celebration of this milestone will be a special Pilgrimage to the "Land of St. Eymard" in English sponsored by the Province of Saint Ann (USA).
Many of our English-speaking religious have made this Pilgrimage "In the Footsteps of Saint Peter Julian Eymard" already, and several others have yet to experience this opportunity to grow in knowledge and love of our saintly Founder. Won't you consider joining us, or encouraging some of your religious or committed laity to join Father Norman Pelletier, myself, other SSS religious and dedicated lay people in getting to know our Founder better and celebrating the 200^th Anniversary of his Birth and Baptism? It surely is an appropriate occasion.

Since we are only in the organizational stage, we do not yet have exact dates or a price for the pilgrimage. We are hoping to make the trip in April 2011. The trip is about two weeks long and we would return home for Holy Week. If you are interested, please contact Thomas Wiese, SSS (thomasawieseATblessedsacrament.com) in Cleveland, Ohio (USA) so that we can tentatively reserve a place for you.

The number of people we will be able to accommodate will be limited and we will accept reservations on a first-come-first-serve basis. Therefore, it is important to let us know early if you might be interested. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
