A beautiful church and chapels, and great Polish fare: kielbasa on rye, kapusta (sauerkraut), pierogis, potato pancakes, beer and beverages, arts and crafts, vintners, and rides for the kids all in the shadow of the cross and St. John Paul. A lovely crowd celebrating ethnic pride.
This is a place where peace overwhelming you, Where Mother Of God becomes your Mother, Where Jesus our Christ Savior becomes a reality
I was taking part of Pilgrimage for the first time this year and it was an amazing experience. Not only you feel closer to God but you feel love & unity of people, priests spiritual guidence is wonderful but most of all you get to appreciate showers of blessing we are given every day of our lives. I would highly recommend it.

The shrine is the place for peaceful meditation and prayer. Where I'm there, I feel that nothing is insurmountable. Yet, it can also provide many opportunities for so much more - special religious events, holiday services, a good place to dine and even an impressive festival held annually in September, which we just had the privilege to enjoy! What other destination can give you all that is holy and all that is Polish? This is my idea of heaven on earth!
