The Great Unpacking: Stories From Our French Pilgrimage

Join Father Ben Little, our pastor, and Brenda Sevcik, our director of music ministry, as they unpack the parish pilgrimage through some of France's most sacred Catholic sites. From the healing waters of Lourdes and its moving candlelight processions, to the historic papal palace in Avignon, to the spiritual treasures of Paray-le-Monial where the Sacred Heart was revealed to Saint Margaret Mary. Father Ben shares meaningful moments at the shrines of Saint Bernadette, Saint John Vianney, and his confirmation patron, Saint Vincent de Paul, while weaving in spiritual reflections on faith, wine-making, and what makes a true pilgrimage. Plus, hear about the pilgrims' excitement when white smoke appeared in Rome, announcing Pope Leo XIV!
