Day 3

Wednesday, August 16

Pimento to Bridgeton - 31 miles

Increasing Chance of Showers Throughout the Day with High Temperatures

Terre Haute area: The journey leads pilgrims just west of Terre Haute and near Holy Rosary Catholic Church then into timeless Parke County. This is Indiana’s “covered bridge country.” Pilgrims will end the day’s trek at Bridgeton Mill and Covered Bridge. Mass is celebrated at the pilgrim’s hotel with dinner and beer tasting at the restored historic Terre Haute Brewing Company.  

Stewardship

As I Begin This Day

“Our Lady said yes for the human race. Each one of us must echo that yes for our lives. We are all asked if we will surrender what we are, our humanity, our flesh and blood, to the Holy Spirit and allow Christ to fill the emptiness formed by the particular shape of our life.”

Caryll Houselander, The Reed of God

"My intention is to give myself entirely and without compromise to whatever work God wants to perform in me and through me." -- Thomas Merton
"Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received." -- 1Peter 4:10

Prayer

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

The Journey

Map of trail from Vincennes to Notre Dame

August 13-26, 2017

In the tradition of Father Sorin’s inspirational journey and intrepid spirit—our Notre Dame spirit—we will retrace his journey from Vincennes to Notre Dame. We will travel those miles in a collective renewal of our determination, to rededicate ourselves to Notre Dame’s mission to seek God, study the world, and serve humanity—to boldly lead the way into the new chapters of our story.
