A pilgrimage for St. Matthew parishioners to EWTN (Mother Angelica's Eternal Word Television Network) and the Shrine of Our Lady of the Angels in Hanceville, Alabama, May 2-4, 2023.  Married couples and individuals are welcome. It is a wonderful spiritual opportunity to feel the Holy Spirit's presence.  If you would like to go, reservations have been made for 16 people.

Activities at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament are intended to offer pilgrims a time of silence, prayer, and serenity. The surrounding grounds include gardens, grottos, and paths for quiet contemplation.

Your trip will include a tour of EWTN and the Shrine, two masses, a healing service, a spiritual talk, times of prayer, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will attend Father Mitch Pacqua's live TV show on Scripture and Tradition.
