The Shrine welcomed a group of pilgrims from Saint Edward High School, Ohio, USA (Saint Ed’s Battlefields II Tour 2022), led, as it has been for some years now, by M. Michael Perrins.
After visiting parts of Le Mans, including the Saint-Julien Cathedral, the group celebrated Mass at the tomb of Blessed Basil Moreau with Fr. Joseph Gansalvez, CSC.
According to the pilgrims, Fr. Joseph presided over a splendid service, which was enormously spiritual and very moving. Edsmen on Tour Lukas Kucera, Sean Krieg and Jacob Cook participated with various tasks and the whole group sang the Prayer of St Francis, Psalm responses, the Alleluia and “Cross Of Out Hope” (a song dedicated to Blessed Basil Moreau). Ave Crux, Spes Unica!
