The Remnant's 2012 Tour of France
Sells Out
We are still accepting reservations,
however, for the 3-day walking Pilgrimage to Chartres
only. The US Chapter, organized by The Remnant Tours, is
at 50, which means there are still 10 places available.

Father Michael Rodriguez,
Chaplain of The Remnant Tours, 2012
 I’m
thrilled to announce that the courageous priest, Father
Michael Rodriguez, about whom we’ve written so much in
The Remnant over the past year, has agreed to
serve as the official chaplain for the 2012 Remnant Tour
and Pilgrimage to France. (See PDF full ad
HERE
). This is indeed a great
honor for us, and we’re eager to make Father welcome and
to introduce him to our French allies in the Catholic
cause.
Our friend Father Paul McDonald, Remnant
chaplain for so many years, cannot make it this year
because he is to assist in the ordination of two new
priests from his parish in Canada. Father Jared
McCambridge, FSSP, our much-appreciated co-chaplain over
the past couple of years, also cannot be with us this
year as he must attend a priest meeting in Nebraska, but
has promised to make every effort to return next year.
In his absence, we’re delighted to welcome Fr. Angelo
Van der Putten, FSSP, who graciously agreed to step in
and help meet the many spiritual needs of the pilgrims
this year.
The Lord has blessed The Remnant Tours
over the years with many fine young priests to serve as
chaplains, and this year promises to be no different.
Anyone interested in helping to defray the high costs of
sending two chaplains to help with Masses, confessions
and spiritual direction for the large American chapter
on the Chartres Pilgrimage this year, can send
tax-deductible donations to The Remnant Tours
Chaplain Fund PO Box 1117, Forest Lake, MN 55025 or
click
HERE to donate online.
All sponsors
will be placed on the Mass intentions list, and their
names will be added to the Pilgrimage Prayer List, as
well, to be read aloud every day during the Pilgrimage.
Major Itinerary Change for 2012
Remnant Tour
 Speaking of The Remnant Tours 2012
pilgrimage to France, I hasten to alert our readers to
some major changes to this year’s itinerary. The first
part of the pilgrimage will remain the same: Two nights
in Paris (Montparnasse), two nights on the 70-mile
walking pilgrimage to Chartres, and then two nights in
the old town of Chartres itself (to include a
magnificent tour of the cathedral conducted by the
world-famous Malcolm Miller, premier English-language
expert on Chartres).
After leaving Chartres we will not
proceed directly to Versailles as had previously been
announced here and in The Remnant. Instead,
we’ve decided to make a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our
Lady of Hope at Pontmain. Pontmain is in Brittany—one of
the most beautiful parts of northern France. While in
Brittany, we’ve managed to find accommodations at the
medieval Abbaye de Saint Jacut de la Mer, on the coast
of France (the English Channel). While up there, we will
visit the famous medieval walled city of Saint Malo as
well as the island fortress/monastery Mont
Saint-Michel. The French Revolution tour to be
conducted by Dr. John Rao and James Bogle will take
place over the last two days in Versailles.
With daily traditional Masses, historical
lectures and outstanding sightseeing, along with the
grand walking Pilgrimage to Chartres, this promises to
be one of the best Remnant pilgrimages ever. Dedicated
to Our Lady of Hope and St. Joan of Arc, there are still
15 seats available. Please see PDF full ad

Young Catholic Pilgrims Still Need
Help
 We are still very much in need of
sponsors for young Catholics waiting on our list.
Readers of The Remnant have already sponsored a handful
of young people for this year’s pilgrimage, and many of
those still waiting are fairly close to the mark.
Readers wishing to take advantage of the graces offered
by pilgrimage but unable to physically attend, are
encouraged to select a young person to help send, along
with your prayer requests. Tax-deductible donations of
any size can be sent to The Remnant Tours Youth Fund at
PO Box 1117, Forest Lake, MN 55025. In return, the young
pilgrims will carry the intentions of their sponsors to
the altar of Our Lady of Chartres and Pontmain. The list
of names of waiting pilgrims can be found below, along
with a link to our donate page. Please specify
which young person or chaplain you would like to help
sponsor.
Readers wishing to take advantage of the graces offered

Young pilgrims will walk the pilgrimage in the name of

intentions will also be carried to Chartres and read
aloud each day on the Pilgrimage:
