Welcome to the annual Chartres Pilgrimage in France!
June 7 – 9, 2025
REGINA Magazine is proud to sponsor the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary (ADULT) Chapter and the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (FAMILY) Chapter of the famous annual Notre Dame du Chretienne Pèlerinage that takes place each year in France.
This is a three-day walking pilgrimage in the medieval footprint from Notre–Dame de Paris to Notre–Dame de Chartres.
Upon arrival at Chartres, pilgrims venerate the veil of Our Lady, one of the most hallowed relics of the Christian world.
The route is approximately 60 miles and the dates of the Pilgrimage coincide every year with the Solemnity of Pentecost.
Pilgrims are organized into groups called “chapters.” Please note: each of our Chapters (the Adult and the Family Chapter) is limited to 50 persons.
We are an English-language Chapter from the United States.
The Most Holy Rosary Chapter is for adults who are intense walkers, and who can walk the full length of the Pilgrimage. The Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Chapter is for families with experienced walkers, who will walk a slightly truncated version of the Pilgrimage (about 45 miles).
DATES AND ITINERARY:
The dates for the 2025 Paris to Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage are June 7 – 9, 2025.
On Friday, June 6, the day before the pilgrimage begins, REGINA Magazine sponsors an optional morning Mass at Saint-Roch in Paris with lunch and a meet-and-greet, for those registered with our Chapters.
Details will be sent to registrants at a later date.
There will be Solemn Mass every day of the pilgrimage in the Traditional Roman Rite.
The day of the pilgrimage begins with early Mass at Notre-Dame in Paris, the morning of Saturday, June 7, the Vigil of Pentecost.
The following day, the Solemnity of Pentecost (Whitsunday) June 8th, Solemn Pontifical Mass will be sung in the French countryside.
The concluding Mass, Monday, June 9th, will be celebrated in Chartres Cathedral, on Pentecost Monday.
The walking route covers approximately 60 miles over 3 days, beginning at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris and ending at the Cathedral Notre-Dame de Chartres.
Those who join us will have the opportunity to sing and pray in both English, French, and Latin.
On the way of the pilgrimage route, the French have the venerable custom of singing the Rosary in French and Latin.
There will be prayer and fellowship, with over 16,000 pilgrims making the journey together with participants from countries all over the world.
The Annual Notre Dame du Chretienne Pèlerinage is organized by the L’association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté (the Association of Our Lady of Christendom).
