Assistance & transportation
Water, first aid and transportation are provided all
four days by volunteers of the Company of St. René Goupil.
The Company transports weary pilgrims and
those pilgrims who can no longer walk, or, in emergency, brings them to
hospital.
Those pilgrims not reasonably expected to meet the
physical demands of long-distance walking and penetential victuals and
camping are asked to join the 'modified
pilgrimage'.
Pilgrims must carry their own canteens, and prepare
for their own basic first aid: 'blister-kits', aspirin & the like.
ALL PILGRIMS PARTICIPATE AT THEIR OWN RISK, MUST
OBTAIN THEIR OWN AND SPOUSE/CHILDREN'S PERSONAL MEDICAL INSURANCE,
& MUST SIGN RELEASE OF
LIABILITY FORM ON REGISTRATION FORM.
For pilgrims traveling by PT (public transportation)
or/and to recover one's vehicle at the end of all events in 2012,
organizers provide shuttle-service Thursday, 27 September
(only) from the Auriesville Shrine to lodgings in Lake
George Village.
Pilgrims must request this service after registering. Use the Transportation Request Form to
request the shuttle service.
Important Note: Prior to finalizing your public
transportation reservations, please contact Bob Whealan (in charge
of shuttling pilgrims) to be sure he and his Team of volunteers can
meet your arrival-time connections, and so that you can meet your
departure-time connections.

September, via
e-mail, or by
