Kapaun's Men Pilgrimage Series

Kapaun's Men Pilgrimage Series

8 Episodes

In both Scripture and the Sacred Liturgy the Church teaches us that we are a pilgrim people, making our way along the path to heaven. With the pace of our daily lives, we often need a reminder that this earth is not our lasting home. That’s why for our latest series, Kapaun’s Men invited national speaker and longtime Kapaun’s Men emcee Joe Farris to join us in Kansas for the annual 60-mile pilgrimage in honor of Servant of God Emil Kapaun. In the Pilgrimage Series, both men and women alike will discover the essential themes found on pilgrimage that correlate to our daily lives as Christians and find the inspiration to continue more intentionally on our path to heaven. Will you follow God’s invitation to walk with us? (8 Sessions)
