Pilgrimages
As the months of May and October are especially devoted to the Blessed Mother, pilgrimages to Monte Cassino Shrine are held each Sunday during those months.

The pilgrimage begins with an opening hymn and a short sermon, followed by a rosary procession. The service, about an hour long, ends with the Litany of the Blessed Virgin and a hymn.

Pilgrimages start at 2 p.m. Central Time. The shrine is located in St. Meinrad, IN, one mile east of Saint Meinrad Archabbey along Indiana 62.

Speakers and topics for the May pilgrimages are:

May 2--Fr. Gabriel Hodges, OSB
"Blessed Mother, Show Us the Way"

May 9--Fr. Harry Hagan, OSB
"Our Lady of Einsiedeln, Pray for Us"

May 16--Br. Luke Waugh, OSB
"Mary, Mother of Conversion"

May 23--Br. Thomas Gricoski, OSB
"A Mother Knows"

May 30--Fr. Meinrad Brune, OSB
"Mary, Woman of Few Words"
