300 pilgrims from the Western, Federal, and American Associations met in Green Bay , Wisconsin in early August for the Tri-Association Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help.

26 young pilgrims enjoyed their own activities and joined the adults for Mass and other events. Hundreds of other Knights, Dames, Chaplains, Provisional Members, Auxiliary Members, friends and volunteers from around the United States joined the pilgrimage online due to all of the Masses being offered on live stream.

It’s really the only time that all three US Associations gather together. It’s a wonderful opportunity for new friendships and camaraderie among Members of the three US Associations. – Bob Kilmartin, KM

The days began with Mass, a Rosary Procession, Adoration, time for reconciliation, time for personal reflection, Anointing of the Sick, and would end with dinner among new friends. Pilgrims also visited the Shrine of St. Joseph in De Pere, Wisconsin. Our Lady of Good Help is the only approved Marian apparition site in the United States. This pilgrimage continues to grow in popularity as more and more members of the Order of Malta, families, and friends attend.
