Calling all Pilgrims...

For the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, (Saturday, July 16) a pilgrimage to the Marian shrine on Memory Road (south of Thunder Bay) and St. Benedict's Chapel (Highway 61 at Boy Scout Road) is being planned. 

Pilgrims are asked meet here at St. Peter's Church to board the bus or car pool for a departure time of 10 a.m.  The visit to the shrine will be followed by Mass and picnic at St. Benedict's. 

To register as a pilgrim, please add your name to the sign up sheet in the church foyer, or contact the parish office.  A special invitation is extended to families and youth.

Below are a couple of pictures of St. Benedict's from the not-too-distant past when the white stuff was still with us...

St. Benedict's is a mission of Holy Family Parish, whose pastor is Fr. Antoni Fujarczuk.
Mass is offered there on the third Sunday of each month.
