4th Group - those
who work for the pilgrimage.
In addition to those who march on
the pilgrimage from Great Meadows to Doylestown, there are also
those who serve with their various talents. The members of this
group take care of the pilgrimage and provide for the needs of the
pilgrims, often spending more time and effort than the pilgrims
do themselves. Among these are those who set up the rest sites,
clean up afterward, direct traffic, provide shuttle service, transport
equipment and luggage and work in the kitchen day and night to provide
food for the groups.
5th Group –
spiritual support.
Those who, for whatever reason, cannot
participate in the pilgrimage physically have the opportunity to
join it spiritually. To become a member of this group, they should
join in spirit with the pilgrims on their march. This becomes possible
by attending daily Holy Mass, receiving Holy Communion, and offering
prayers for the intention of the pilgrimage. The members of this
group reap the spiritual rewards of the prayers and daily Holy Masses
which are offered on the way.
