2 Greetings & A Hundred Thousand Welcomes, Welcome aboard on what looks like it will be an exciting cruise next late July. Last June we visited Fatima, the Eucharistic Miracle at Santarem, Porto, Santiago de Compostela, Santander on the Bay of Biscay, Garabandal, and other stops in-between, ending in Lourdes. People had a wonderful time and asked if we would do another next summer. See the picture below of our Fatima to Lourdes trip. It was an easy decision to say yes as these trips are so enjoyable, and this upcoming trip has been put together for July. It will be at a much more leisurely pace as there are not the number of hotel rooms with the in and outs, and long bus rides. Once on the cruise ship, it is the same cabin, the same dinner hour, and close to the same daily Mass time not needing to hustle around as much as on a land tour. We intentionally took the later dinner hour at 8:00 as it is less rushed, and people can stay longer and talk if desired this is exactly what happens on these trips to the delight of all. The best of all is the people we meet. Pilgrims come from all over the USA. Many we knew, others we did not know, but by the end of the 10 days, new friends had been made. By the end of the trip, telephone numbers and e mails are being exchanged, and many find they have mutual friends. Father Dermot Roache of Boston and Father Jose Maniyangat are Spiritual Advisors. Father Maniyangat has a healing ministry where people come from all over the world to see him. In 1985, he was hit by a drunk driver and died. On his way to the morgue he was brought back to life. His angel brought him to heaven, hell, and purgatory where he experienced many of the phenomena spoken of by the saints in the church who saw many similar things. He will be speaking on this and conducting a Healing Mass. In addition, in seminar format we will be speaking on subjects addressed on land and sea by knowledgeable people. Hope you can make it. Ted & Maureen Flynn

3 Topics That Will Be Discussed On The Cruise By: Father Dermot Roache, Father Jose Maniyangat, Ted & Maureen Flynn and others Subjects addressed will largely deal with SOLUTIONS for our families. We are beyond discussing the problems, but need to be solution based. 1. Where the world is headed in the words of the Blessed Mother at major apparition sites in history. 2. The interconnectivity of the major apparition sites and how they are similar. What happens when her requests are ignored. 3. The political philosophy of the fight we see in government. How they radically differ and why we see such division. 4. The healing of families, what can be done to restore our families to a healthy and abundant life filled with joy and contentment. How to restore lost years due to the cultural lifestyle which has wreaked havoc on our families, schools, and communities. 5. The confusion in the Church and how we are to deal with it. The Lord has given us a game plan on how to achieve peace of soul in troubled times. 6. A. Messages of Divine Mercy for the Family B. The Power of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart 7. The message of Akita, Japan in 1973 which prophesied the church would be, Cardinal opposing cardinal, bishop opposing bishop, priest against priest This issue gets bigger before it goes away. 8. A Healing Mass and talk by Father Jose Maniyrangat. And many more topics discussed over dinner, conversations on board, and walks at the sites we visit.

July 22- Sunday Bar Harbor Maine (arrival 7:00AM departure 3:00PM) For much of the year, sunlight touches the United States first at Cadillac Mountain on the Maine Coast. From the granite-slabbed summit, light tiptoes down across the rest of Mount Desert Isle, Acadia National Park, the town of Bar Harbor and then the rest of the country. The raw coastal scenery attracted Hudson River School painters in the 1840s, and their art in turn lured visitors to the area. Lots of them. Before you know it, Bar Harbor was a haven for the East Coast glittering class and bejeweled with grand mansions and immaculate gardens. Cruise visitors can walk the streets of town, relax on the Village Green, or climb Cadillac Mountain. You ll see that the grandeur abides. This afternoon at 4:00PM we gather in the Main Show Lounge to hear talks by our hosts and guest speakers. Mass will be celebrated daily on the ship at 7:30 AM July 23 Monday Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (arrival 10:00AM departure 6:00PM) It s big enough to be the economic and cultural capital of eastern Canada, but small enough to be easygoing and hospitable. Halifax residents have it good. The city is located on one of the planet s great natural harbors and adorned with landmarks like the Citadel fortress, Pier 21 (Canada s Ellis Island), and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Outside the city, cruise visitors can discover the weather-beaten landscape of Nova Scotia s south shore. See craggy coastlines, the boulderer topography of Peggy s Cove, and the German village of Lunenburg, so meticulously restored it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. July 24 Tuesday- Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada (arrival 9:00AM- departure 6:00PM) A hundred thousand Gaelic welcomes await you in Nova Scotia, Latin for New Scotland. At the northeast end of the province sits Cape Breton Island, whose wild and lovely topography includes Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Bras d Or Lake, and miles of rugged coastline. Sydney is the gateway to it all. There are highland villages for cruise visitors to see, the scenic Cabot Trail to explore, golden inland seas to sail, and the Fortress of Louisbourg to inspect - where every barn, barracks and pipe and drum corps appears just as it did when King Louis troops occupied the site in 1744.

5 July 25 Wednesday Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada (arrival 9:00AM- departure 6:00PM) Canada s smallest province is an island that seems to be tethered to New Brunswick by the 8-mile-long Confederation Bridge, lest it drift into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We leave the mainland, cross the bridge, and make a right for Charlottetown. The largest city on Prince Edward Island as well as its capital, Charlottetown s Victorian architecture, abundance of parks, and harborside location make it an idyllic stop for cruise visitors. Walk the cobblestones of Victoria Row, see the house that inspired Anne of Green Gables, or explore the wild shore of Prince Edward Island National Park. July 26 Thursday Cruising Gulf of St. Lawrence Enjoy the day on board the ship, while watching the magnificent landscapes along the shore. There will be talks for our group by Ted Flynn and other speakers on the ship this afternoon, at 4:00PM in the Main Show Lounge. July 27 Friday- Quebec City, Quebec, Canada (arrival 7:00AM departure 6:00PM)- Organized group excursion with lunch included The singular image of the city is a hotel surrounded by cannons. Built to evoke a mountain castle, Chateau Frontenac, one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, sits atop a cape above the St. Lawrence River. The hotel is part of the city s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and with all the stone buildings and winding streets, you ll think you re in Europe. We will celebrate Mass at and visit the magnificent St. Anne de Beaupre Basilica on a private tour, organized just for our group. Lunch will be included. In the afternoon enjoy a guided visit of Quebec Old Town including a visit to Notre Dame des Victoires Cathedral and the Petit Champlain district. You will have time at leisure to explore this beautiful city on your own. July 28 Saturday- Montreal, Quebec, Canada (arrival at 7:00AM for disembarkation) City tour and overnight in Montreal with breakfast and lunch included We disembark from the ship to start a private, custom designed tour of Montreal. We celebrate Mass and visit the Cathedral of Marie-Reine-du-Monde. This Catholic church, dedicated to Mary, Queen of the World, was modeled after St. Peter s Basilica in Rome. Next we will take in the stunning interior of St. Patrick s Basilica. A short drive takes us to the Notre Dame Basilica, whose Gothic revival architecture is among the most dramatic in the world. The church is filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues. The stained glass windows of the sanctuary depict scenes from the religious history of Montreal. We drive to St. Joseph s Oratory founded by Saint Brother Andre Bessett. We also visit the Shrine Museum. The shrine of St. Joseph is the highest point in Montreal. The basilica is largely Italian Renaissance in style, and its dome, second in size only to St. Peter s Basilica in Rome, recalls the shape of the Duomo in Florence. Inside we will find outstanding sculptures, stained glass, and other works of art. St. Joseph s Museum, located in the heart of the Basilica, is dedicated to sacred art and renowned for its exceptional collection of crèches from around the world. Dinner will be at your leisure with an opportunity to explore Old Town of Montreal. Overnight in Montreal. July 29 Sunday Montreal Shrine of St. Kateri transfer to Boston with breakfast and lunch included After breakfast at the hotel, we check out and continue with a visit to the Shrine of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the only Native American woman to be canonized, followed by a private Mass at St. Francis Xavier Mission. We celebrate Mass at the Shrine and venerate the tomb of St. Kateri. After a group lunch we depart Canada and drive back to Boston where you may pick up your car, board your flight home or enjoy an additional night in Boston. The drive is approximately 5 hours putting us back into the port of Boston around 6:00 PM RELAXED PACE PILGRIMAGE If you enjoy more time to explore various sites, more time for prayer and devotions and a leisurely pace while exploring the Holy Sites selected especially for you, then you will want to join this Pilgrimage.
