Journey of Faith
In June 2023, Michael Urban (SSPP Alum) along with six other students from Notre Dame and a priest, did a pilgrimage to Fatima and Lourdes. Ahead of time, the priest had submitted their group as pilgrims who would like to carry the statue of Our Blessed Morher. On June 6, 2023, Michael, along with a few others from his group, was chosen to carry the statue that evening in the procession at Fatima.
Before the procession started, they were gathered in the sacristy and were clothed in white robes and then given instructions. Michael said it was a great honor to carry her.
