Join Linda Colter on Pilgrimage
In 2023, my husband and I had just begun a journey back into our Catholic faith after being out of the church for about 30 years. It was early on in our walk back that our Pastor announced a pilgrimage to Medjugorje – somewhere that we had never heard of and knew nothing about. We had no interest in the trip but both felt a strong pull that we were to go. After several months, we could no longer ignore the feeling, so we took the leap of faith and signed up to travel with 13 other pilgrims in September 2023. We returned completely changed and with a new zeal for our faith and love for our Blessed Mother Mary. We are living a new adventure every day and excited to go wherever God leads us.
Upcoming Pilgrimage Trips
Our Spiritual Director: Fr. Keeton Lockwood
I was ordained a priest for the diocese of Fort Wayne – South Bend, IN in 2021. I am currently the pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish in Ege and also of St. John Bosco Parish in Churubusco. I had attended the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, OH and Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD. When I entered seminary, I began a deep devotion to our Blessed Mother and asked Mary to be my mother to accompany me through life, and especially through my priesthood. I became interested in Medjugorje after a friend had given me a book about people whose lives were changed through an encounter with Christ and His Blessed Mother while visiting Medjugorje. After reading those experiences, and through prayer, I was delighted when I was asked to lead a pilgrimage to this holy site so as to allow others to experience our Lord’s deep love for us through His Blessed Mother!
