Marie Reine Du Canada Pilgrimage
Members of the parish organize and participate in the annual Marie Reine du Canada Pilgrimage, a 100 km pilgrimage on foot from Saint-Joseph-de-Lanoraie to the Marian shrine of Notre-Dame du Cap at Trois-Rivières, Quebec. The pilgrimage was first walked in 2003 and is based on the Notre-Dame du Chrétienté pilgrimage from Notre-Dame de Paris to Chartres Cathedral in France. It takes place over the Labour Day weekend and draws over 70 pilgrims each year.
