We are now in Ottawa, spending some time resting, reminiscing and preparing for the next two days on the road. Our pilgrimage has been a time a great blessing. We have seen much and experienced even more. As the end of the pilgrimage approaches, though, I think we will all agree that there is no place like home!
With prayers....
