The
documentary tells the story of the three day walking pilgrimage to Notre Dame
Cathedral Chartres from Notre Dame Cathedral Paris over the Pentecost weekend.
This is the 2013 pilgrimage for which we filmed all three days including the
main Masses.

We
did a number of interviews with pilgrims from France, England, USA, Middle
East, and Ireland. A number of themes emerged, one
of the most important being that the young people (who make up the majority of
the pilgrims) want orthodoxy. They love the Traditional Latin Mass, they are
strongly pro-Life and the natural family, and that marriage can only be between
a man and a woman, anything else is just plain wrong.

Perhaps
what shone through more than anything else was the sheer joy expressed by the
thousands of young pilgrims as they took part in this most arduous of
pilgrimages. They sang hymns and prayers all day long as they carried their colourful banners and flags through Paris and the French countryside,
witnessing to the faith and proving that Christianity is alive and well in
Western Europe – at least among the young!

To
see these straight-talking,
joyful,
young pilgrims, tune into EWTN on Pentecost
Sunday, unless you are actually taking part in this year’s pilgrimage at the
time!
