The Three Hearts Pilgrimage began as the Our Lady Help of Christians Pilgrimage, a 35 mile trek to the Benedictine monastery, Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey. This pilgrimage was originally established by a group of young boys from the St. John Bosco Institute (SJBI) in the spirit of brotherhood as the next generation of leaders soldiering for Christ.

 

Word of this “American Chartres” by the St. John Bosco Institute’s adventurous pilgrims spread quickly worldwide among Catholics associated with both the school and monastery... In response to many requests, the youthful boy-soldiers opened up their pilgrimage to fellow Christians wanting to walk alongside them.

 

As the attendance grew, so had the sacrificial penances for a return of the traditional family in society.  With guidance and consideration from the monks, the pilgrimage will continue each year invoking Our Lady Help of Christians for physical and spiritual protection as we offer up our journey to the Three Hearts of the Holy Family, as we walk the long road of restoring our Christian Culture.
