Please help make Kevin’s pilgrimage of reparation come true

Hello!
My name is Kevin Roman, and I am a young Catholic volunteer living in Pennsylvania.

For years, seven Catholic
young men (including myself) have been hoping to go on a pilgrimage to the
Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where the great apostle Saint James
is buried. The Camino de Santiago,
which translates to The Path of St. James,
is a traditional pilgrimage route that Catholics have walked for centuries in
reparation for sin and pray for special intentions.

This year, we have received the opportunity to
make reparation for abortion in this beautiful way.
We are all looking
forward to this sublime pilgrimage during our Easter break, but certain
obstacles may force us to cancel our plane tickets and call off the trip.

We know the pilgrimage
won’t be easy. We will need to walk over 160 miles through rough terrain and
climb over three mountains to reach our sacred destination. However, through
prayer and perseverance, we will make it!

If we are able to make it to
Santiago de Compostella, we will offer our sufferings, sacrifices, and prayers
for this most important intention. After
all, reparation is needed now more than ever!

But we don’t have enough funds to fulfill our
promise.

Thankfully, we had the money to purchase our plane tickets and did so before
the prices rose any higher. However, there are still many other expenses that
need to be covered. For example, we need to pay for food, lodging, hiking
equipment and a rental car to take us to Portugal, where we will start our 160-mile
journey. This is where we need your help!

With the start date less
than two months away and the price of everything constantly rising, it doesn’t look like we are going to make
it…

This is why I’m asking you to spiritually join
us in this act of reparation and help us make it to Santiago!
Whatever you can give
will help us in our pilgrimage of reparation.

Furthermore, we will be
offering up our prayers and sacrifices for those who spiritually join us with prayers
and encouragement. All those who donate
to help make this possible will have their petitions personally brought to the
tomb of Saint. James
, Our Lady of the Pillar, Covadonga, and other
spiritually significant places throughout our journey, where we will pray for
you.

In addition to abortion,
we will also be offering up our sufferings for these other intentions:

  • For Catholics in Africa and Asia who are being persecuted
    and martyred for the Faith, especially at the hands of Islamism and communism.
  • In reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the sins
    of indifference, abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, blasphemy,
    euthanasia, and satanism in the world today.
  • In reparation for those within Holy Mother Church who try
    to justify such grievous sins doctrinally.
  • For great conversions and a massive increase in the true
    devotion to Mary Most Holy in the Church worldwide.
  • For the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as foreseen
    in Fatima.

Our Lord is offended every
day, every hour, and even every minute by abortion and so much sin! We must
remember to make reparation for these sins, and we hope the Camino pilgrimage
will bring some consolation to Jesus and Mary.

Thank you for your
donations and prayers. In turn, we will be praying for you!

Saint James, pray for us!

With
gratitude,

Kevin Roman

Thomas Eggers’ Full Marathon

I’m currently in my third year at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary. I’ve never been much of a runner, at least I’ve never really run for running’s sake, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to train for and run a marathon with my brother seminarians and priests. And why run the half marathon when you can run the full? Anything for a good cause. Any support is much appreciated and will go a long way in furthering my formation.

Dear Friends and Family of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter,

 

Greetings from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary! 

 

We write to you today in the hope that you will support us in raising funds for our continued priestly formation as we train for the Lincoln Half-Marathon and Marathon. 

 

Over the last five years, we have seen a growing number of priests and seminarians at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary (OLGS) lace up for the nearby Lincoln Half-Marathon and Marathon. Ten men first toed the line five years ago; last year saw 17 men compete; now our numbers have jumped to 45 entrants this year – that means nearly half the seminary will be running! Our participation in this event serves not only as a means of maintaining an anima sana in corpore sano, but also stands as an important Catholic witness at the same time that it spotlights Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary and the FSSP. Will you help us raise funds to showcase these worthy causes and defray the cost of the outstanding priestly formation we are blessed to receive? 

 

WHO?

Priests and seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, a society of apostolic life established by Pope St. John Paul II, devoted to the sanctification of priests and the preservation of the beautiful liturgical patrimony of the Catholic Church.
