Exploring the Spiritual Wonders of France with Dr. Anthony Lilles and Dan Burke

A holy pilgrimage is a way to break the pattern and gain clarity. In fact, I would venture to say that there are few ways to achieve this break that are as powerful as a pilgrimage and particularly to Lourdes and Carmelite France.

A non-Christian may look in and see us going on pilgrimage and think, “Well, that’s a vacation,” but we do not travel to a holy place for the sake of sipping margaritas and laying on the beach (though this can happen in a holy context).

We go on pilgrimage with one goal in mind: to strengthen our relationship with our Lord.

Join our webinar as Dr. Anthony Lilles and I delve into the spiritual wonders of France. On Wednesday, March 13th, at 9 pm eastern / 6 pm pacific, we will be holding a free webinar to discuss the glory of attending a pilgrimage, specifically our pilgrimage to France in July. To register, please click HERE. The webinar will be recorded, so if you cannot attend, please register and we will email you the video.
