SSCM PILGRIMAGE 2014: In The Footsteps of The Apostles and Martyrs

We have arrived.  Two dozen pilgrims from SSCM in Deer Park (New York) and beyond have come first to Lisbon, Portugal.  This lovely and ancient European City, just across the Atlantic is the Place where Saint Anthony of Padua was born and raised.  This gorgeous Metropolis is where the future Doctor of the Church received his Sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, First Penance, Confirmation, Holy Orders and the eternal vow as a Religious. 

The Baptistry in the Ancient Cathedral (c12th Century) where Anthony becomes a Christian Disciple. 

What a wonderful surprise today has been, filled with the unexpected graces of an unplanned "layover" day on our way to Rome, San Giovani Rotundo, Monte Cassino (the first monastic foundation in the West) and Fatima through Rome once again.  God is great and His Providence certain!

Please visit us here frequently and join us for your own virtual pilgrimage.
