Fascinating pilgrimage idea: Combining the Theology of the Table with a Pilgrimage
The world of pilgrimage travel is very rich and diverse. For example, I recently learned from a friend of mine about who is hosting a fascinating and very unique pilgrimage to France that combines the Theology of the Table. To learn more visit http://www.thefeastonline.com/page or http://www.thefeastonline.com/page.asp?id=9. I've also listed below their story and theme behind the pilgrimage......
SPEND NEW YEAR'S EVE IN FRANCE!
This is going to be both a pilgrimage and a food workshop. We will be "on the road" in the legendary Provence of the South of France. Families, chefs, and monastery cooks are going to be met to speak about their way of life over authentic suppers, gourmet meals, and fresh picnics.
With the help of Daniel Rabourdin, both American resident and French citizen, we will be introduced to precious circles of faith at the foot of Our Lady, St. Joseph, and Saint Mary Magdeleine.
We will travel to old time sanctuaries, the names of which sound like legends. We will visit the cave of St. Mary Magdeleine at St. Beaume, nestled in a cliff, overlooking hundreds of miles of olive tree groves and wheat fields. Just an hour's drive away will transport us to the celebrated apparition site of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Cotignac. Tradition going back to the King and the Queen of France gradually transformed this location into a shrine where, continuing through today, couples ask for children, singles for marriage, and separated spouses for reunion. Then, at the end of a one hour hike in the adjacent lush verdant fields ~ such as Monet and Gaughin saw them ~ we will arrive at the source where St. Joseph is said to have helped a shepherd.
In the afternoons, we will return to our retreat house and gather in the kitchen to learn cooking methods that will help us to bring back real dinners and reintroduce good wholesome food into our lives.
A home-cooked evening dinner with a French family will be organized for each of the travelers. Contact with Catholic France, within the heart of French families, is not easy to find anywhere else. At their dinner table with their children, you will personally experience first-hand what no book or other workshop can offer you. Some of the hosts will always speak some English. Friendships for a lifetime are sure to begin and develop during these intimate family dinner gatherings.
On New Year's Eve, you will mingle with two dozen young professionals and other local friends for a festive reception.
Father Pierre Dumoulin will be our guide in the faith throughout this retreat experience. Lauds, Mass, and Verspers will be available every day. Several of our pilgrims will come from a rich faithful background that you are certain to appreciate and will surely engender some vibrant conversations.
