2010 Pilgrimage to St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal

A total of sixteen students and eleven adults from our various Midwest Province, Eastern Province of Brothers, and the South-West Province schools made the tenth annual pilgrimage to St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal from July 19 to July 23. The pilgrims were representatives from Holy Cross High School in Flushing, NY; Holy Cross High School in Waterbury, CT; Holy Cross High School in San Antonio, TX; Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, OH; as well as the vocation directors from the Midwest, the South-West, and the Eastern Province of Brothers. The pilgrims roomed and took most of their meals at the nearby Collège Jean de Brébeuf, about half a mile from the Oratory.
