The Lac Ste Anne Pilgrimage has a rich Aboriginal history and cultural significance for healing and spiritual renewal. Volunteer support from the Knights of Columbus contributes to the success of the Pilgrimage and builds bridges within Catholic communities.
Based on the success of last year, this will be the second year that the Knights of Columbus chapters from Edmonton and area have been invited as volunteers to prepare breakfasts for those attending the Lac Ste Anne Pilgrimage.
Following the breakfast service, KofC volunteers are encouraged to partake in the Eucharistic celebrations and other activities.
• All volunteers are welcome, including wives and adult children. Each Council is recommended to sign up 6-8 volunteers for one day of the Pilgrimage. Councils can join with other Councils to make a team, and individuals can sign up for alternative dates. Councils are asked to contact Brother Bernie Hryciw who is coordinating the volunteers.
