On Friday, November 28, in Mundelein, Illinois, the Ocean to Ocean pilgrimage team brought our icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa to the National Shrine of Fr. Maximilian Kolbe. A group of faithful men from Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Chicago, Illinois lovingly brought the icon into the Shrine and offered special prayers seeking the intercession of Fr. Maximilian Kolbe for our upcoming trip to Mexico.
Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., President Emeritus of the University of Notre Dame greeted the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa on Thanksgiving Day at the Holy Cross Retirement Center on the campus. Fr. Ted is world renown for his leadership over the course of decades at the university. His personal priestly example and dedication to many causes, especially Civil Rights, was extraordinary.
Along with Fr. Ted is Bro. James Lakofka, C.S.C. both are the most senior members of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
The Black Madonna arrived in Chicago for the second time. This is a very special, as the peregrination is a chain of meetings and the rule is not to visit any place twice. Some people even joked that Our Lady loved Chicago so much that She decided to return.
