In honor of the Year of Consecrated Life, Sisters of various Eastern Catholic religious communities were invited to participate in the 61st Annual Dormition Pilgrimage at the headquarters of the Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate in Sloatsburg, New York. The Pilgrimage took place August 8-9.  The Communities attended were invited to present a display.

Come and volunteer as the Sisters get ready to host the 81st Annual Pilgrimage.Volunteers will clear floral gardens, shrines, urns and other planting areas throughout the grounds, and then plant annuals. Other work centers will be the pavilions, which will be cleared of a winter’s worth of leaves and other debris. There may be some chores indoors as well.
