Off to Chartres

We leave for Paris today, and tomorrow start the great pilgrimage to Chartres. For more details on this (ie my accounts and reflections from previous years) click on the Chartres tag.

In outline, our timetable is this:

Saturday, Pentecost Eve
4.30 Rise
5.00 Breakfast
7.00 Mass in Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris
thereafter
March 1: 2hrs 45 mins
Rest: 15 mins
March 2: 1hr 30 mins
Lunch: 1 hr
March 3: 2hrs 40 mins
Rest: 15 mins
March 4: 1 hr 10 mins
Rest: 15 mins
March 5: 1 hr 30 mins

Arrive at campsite (c. 8 pm)

Pentecost is similar, but with Pentecost Mass at noon, and 6 marches (but abut the same number of hours walking).

Whit Monday is easier: 3 marches (totalling a mere five and a half hours walking) and Mass in Notre Dame Cathedral, Chartres, at 3.00 pm.

I will pray for all readers of this blog: and ask that they all pray for me.

Notre Dame de Paris: Priez pour nous;
Notre Dame de Chartres: Priez pour nous.
