About

The idea to organise a pilgrimage in New Zealand came about during a conversation between Father Sumich and Don Da Via, during the Chartres Pilgrimage in France, 2023.  Don, with a background in logistics, had a think and came up with an initial outline.  Father was impressed, presented the initiative to the faithful, gathered support from the FSSP Auckland Trust and established a leadership team.  The pilgrimage had begun.

Since then, our team of volunteers has been diligently coordinating efforts across various areas, including planning the route, managing operations, overseeing logistics, handling finance, executing fundraising initiatives, and spearheading marketing efforts. Our fundraising activities commenced in late 2023, and the heartwarming support from our communities in Auckland and Northland has been truly encouraging.

The launch of our official website, is one of many key milestones needed to be able to pull off this ambitious task. God willing, we will have the strength and fortitude to keep the end goal in sight and create an event to give Him the glory he deserves.
