Pilgrimage to Scherpenheuvel 

Every year, on the last Saturday of August or the first of September, we go en route to Scherpenheuvel with the cathedral family.

Travelling with others has a profound effect on people. You get to know each other better. You talk about things that would not otherwise come up. You discover that you are part of a larger family.
