Fr John Rizzo FSSP will be conducting, this coming 8-18 July, a European Vocations Pilgrimage. The pilgrimage will include visits to Paris, Fontgombault, Ars, Einsiedeln, Wigratzbad and Zurich.

Fr Rizzo will employ the thoughts and spirituality of St John Vianney, the Curé de Ars, as he leads his group of men and boys to many shrines, monasteries and the seminary of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter.

There will also be hiking in the Swiss Alps, sightseeing and side trips such as a view of Paris from the deck of the Bateaux Mouche on the River Seine.

The pilgrimage is open to men and boys aged 14 and over. Minors must have parents' permission and a letter of recommendation from a priest.

Approximate cost, which includes airfare, accommodations, escort and meals is US$2200. For more information please contact Fr Rizzo on (02)9688 4287.
