Be a part of our Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest’s walking group in the 2024 Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage, May 15 through 20. This three-day, 60-mile hike (two nights camping) from the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris to Notre-Dame Cathedral in Chartres traces its origins to Medieval times when pilgrims began making the trek to the Cathedral in Chartres to venerate the veil of Our Lady which was — and still is — kept there. Today, the Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage is the largest annual traditional Catholic event in the world, drawing more than 16,000 participants from all across the globe. You can get a feel for the experience by
watching this short video.

If you believe you are or will be physically fit to walk the 60 miles from Paris to Chartres and have prayerfully decided to participate, we will happily register you to be a part of the Institute walking group. Pilgrims will be responsible for their own flight and hotel reservations.
