Pilgrimage for Creation

Monastery Immaculate Conception and Saint Meinrad Archabbey

are excited to announce our Pilgrimage for Creation, a spiritually

transformative journey that blends prayer, reflection, and a deep

commitment to caring for God’s creation. As part of the global call for

ecological conversion initiated by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’, pilgrims

will embark on a journey that not only strengthens their faith but also

challenges them to take concrete actions for the environment.

The route will begin at Event Hall and travel to Saint Meinrad

Archabbey Church via St. Benedict Drive, Sunrise Drive, Monte

Cassino Road, and IN-162. The distance is approximately 6 miles.

Those who prefer, may carpool from the Event Hall to Monte Cassino

Shrine for prayer and song before continuing to Saint Meinrad

Archabbey. All pilgrims will meet at the Saint Meinrad Archabbey

Church around 1:30 p.m. EDT to conclude with prayer, a group photo,

and a light lunch in the Guest House. Transportation by bus will be

available to take pilgrims back to Event Hall at the conclusion of lunch.
