BOOMER SPONSORED EVENTS 

OPENING EVENT:
PILGRIMAGE TO THE SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE   
 
Monday, September 18, 7:00am-6:00pm, $65.00  

Pilgrimage is one of the most ancient spiritual practices, going back to the Old Testament. When we go on pilgrimage, we leave the familiar surroundings of our everyday life to journey to a holy place - a spiritual time to be renewed in faith, hope, and charity. The shrine's grounds are located on over 100 wooded acres, above the city of La Crosse. The shrine consists of 12 devotional areas, bronze sculptures, votive chapel, and the shrine church. There will be time to enjoy the gentle Meditation Trail with various stops, leading to the church. Golf carts will shuttle pilgrims as needed. Also available will be an optional tour of the church and confessions.
