Thousands of people trek to the annual Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage each year. Established in 1889, the pilgrimage draws Catholics (many of whom are Indigenous) from across the continent for a six-day celebration of faith and spirituality.
The pilgrimage consists of many religious events including masses, confession, and enactments of the Stations of the Cross. Some guests camp out all week, while others come for just a single event. Many will spend a lot of time socializing with friends and family they might not see any other time of the year. The event wraps up on Thursday, July 25 with a mass at 10 a.m.
