We believe that Our Lady and St. Maximilian are now asking us, as a community of Franciscan Friars Conventual to sponsor the 1st Annual Franciscan Pilgrimage to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, April 30, 2022. The Program for the day is below and we invite all friars, M.I. members, and all the faithful to join us in celebrating our devotion to the Immaculate Mother of God. If you are already enrolled in M.I., you should have received a letter with instruction on registration.
