On Wednesday, May 21, the welcome service started already at 5:15 pm in anticipation of the arrival of their wonderful Guest – Our Blessed Mother in the Czestochowa Icon. People were gradually streaming in, as they arrived at the church after they battled the local traffic coming from work.
On Wednesday, May 21st, after the morning Mass at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Naperville, Father Peter West renewed the “Act of Entrustment,” and Our Lady headed towards the IVF clinic only a few streets away. Mr. Włodek Obruchta was driving the Life Mobile with Our Lady around the IVF clinic in circles, while a group of people gathered around Father West who led them in a pro-life Rosary.
On Tuesday morning, May 20th, Our Lady of Czestochowa gracefully reached the parish of Ss. Peter and Paul in Naperville. Due to a slight delay, the faithful who had already gathered at the chapel next to the rectory to await Her had now spontaneously decided to go outside to welcome Our Lady personally. The Icon was delivered in the Life Mobile driven by Mr. Wlodzimierz Obrochta with his wife. One family waiting for Our Lady waved the Polish flag.
On Monday afternoon, May 19th 2014, the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa arrived at the American Parish of the Holy Cross in Batavia. She traveled there in Her Life Mobile because of the close proximity to Chicago.
After the farewell ceremony at the Polish Mission of the Cistercian Fathers in Willow Springs and upon embarking Her Life Mobile, Our Lady in Her Icon of Częstochowa went to the nearby convent of the Dominican Sisters’ Immaculate Conception Province in Justice, where the sisters run a home for the elderly. It was Sunday evening on the 18th of May, 2014 around 8:00 pm, when Our Lady was escorted by the Reverend Pastor Michał Blicharski, OCist., assisted by several other vehicles.
