OUR LADY OF THE CAPE PILGRIM TOUR
The Marian Devotional Movement is visiting various dioceses in Canada in 2022. It is spearheading pilgrim statue tours of Our Lady of the Cape to provide opportunities for Canadians to venerate Canada's National Madonna, to promote consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and to promote enrollment in the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary.
Bishop Riesbeck will welcome pilgrims at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Saint John, New Brunswick, on Friday, May 13, beginning with a procession at 6:30 pm followed by Mass at 7:00 pm. The tour then proceeds to the Miramichi region with stops at St. Michael's Basilica on May 14 (before the 4:00 pm Mass) and St. Mary's Church on May 15 at 3:00 pm. All are welcome.

SILVER ROSE PILGRAMAGE
Each year, from early March through mid-December, Silver Roses are stewarded by Knights of Columbus councils along routes from Canada to Mexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion for Knights, parishioners and community members to pray for respect for life.
This year the Silver Rose will be in the Diocese of Saint John on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
Faithful are invited to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception at 7:00 pm for a Silver Rose prayer service, which will include the recitation of the diocesan rosary. The Knights are hoping for a wide congregation of the faithful to pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
