The Annual Pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, is a special ministry of the Sisters of St. Basil.  This prayerful event has been held each year over Labor Day weekend following a decree issue by Pope Pius XI, March 25, 1935.  Pope Pius XI gave the sisters a beautiful Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, requesting them to spread devotion to the Theotokos under that title.

The Pilgrimage offers the celebration of Divine Liturgy opportunities for the Mystery of Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, adult enrichment programs, activities for children and teens, and pastoral counseling.

The Pilgrimage provides for the diverse spiritual needs of many Pilgrims who frequent this major unifying event in the life of the Byzantine Catholic Church.  Its participants include clergy and faithful from across the country.  It holds the distinction of being the oldest and the largest Pilgrimage in the United States.
