Discover Your Heritage
Fr. Nerinckx was a pioneer priest.
His exile to America was caused by the French Revolution. Despite much suffering, he firmly held to his religious beliefs and became a missionary in the new world.
Together, we will follow in his footsteps and learn about this important figure in American history, learning for ourselves the virtues of heroism that we can apply to our daily lives.
This pilgrimage will include talks and guided exploration.
