Further explanation for volunteers applying to serve on Pilgrimage

Posted on April 1, 2019 by gplloyd

(The following explanation continues the “explanation” at the bottom of the application webform for volunteers, found here.)

Please pre-register or register as soon as possible.

As is the long-standing custom in imitation of the zeal of the Martyrs to save souls, all volunteers are expected each year to invite at least one prospective pilgrim to join the organization.

Alternately, every volunteer expecting not to return to service in the field come September is asked to identify his/her prospective (potential) replacement.

Until a volunteer registers, other organizers are not permitted to plan with him/her in preparations for the pilgrimage.

All volunteers are to keep a copy of the letter of St. Isaac Jogues to his Jesuit superior explaining the life and martyrdom of St. René. Since volunteers are to seek to live the spirit of the Martyrs, each is expected to study the letter of St. Isaac.

Click here to return to the volunteers’ application webform, at http://national-coalition.org/w/volunteer-application/ .

Volunteers who apply (only) to the Company of St. René Goupîl & who register before May 1 are asked to give a donation of $50 in lieu of the registration fee. A CSRGer’s application and/or registration received after May 1 must be accompanied by the regular registration fee.

short explanation of the CSRG apostolate

Posted on March 23, 2019 by gplloyd

The Company of St. René Goupîl is an apostolate of pilgrims founded to provide material assistance to fellow-pilgrims of the annual Pilgrimage for Restoration to the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs, Auriesville NY. Members of the Company exercise charity in imitation of St. René Goupîl, offering their services voluntarily as works of mercy, both spiritual and corporal, ad majorem Dei gloriam.

The Company is composed of lay men and women who have reached the age of 16 and whose application has been accepted. Work for the Pilgrimage for Restoration is conducted under the direction of Company and other Pilgrimage organizers. Membership endures for one year, and must be renewed annually by application by May 1.

New or first-time applicants are also expected to apply and register by May 1.

Volunteers who apply & register before May 1 are asked to give a donation of $50 in lieu of the registration fee. A CSRG application and registration received after May 1 must be accompanied by the regular registration fee. ($100 until June 30; $125 after June 30; $150 after August 31.)

As is the long-standing custom in imitation of the zeal of St. René to save souls, all CSRGers are expected each year to invite at least one prospective pilgrim to join the Company.

Alternately, every Company member expecting not to return to service in the field come September is asked to identify his/her prospective (potential) replacement.

Until a volunteer signs up with the Company, other organizers are asked not to prepare with him/her for pilgrimage.

All volunteers accepted into the Company are to keep a copy of the letter of St. Isaac Jogues to his Jesuit superior explaining the life and martyrdom of St. René. Since members of the Company are to seek to live the spirit of their Blessed Patron, each is expected to study the letter of St. Isaac.

Why do I need the shuttle and why must I submit the form to request it? – Pilgrimage 2021

Posted on April 26, 2017 by gplloyd

The shuttle is provided to enable you to arrive at the step-off location, to begin the pilgrimage, so that at the end of the pilgrimage you can recover your vehicle at the destination shrine, instead of finding your own way back to the starting-point.

You must submit the form to organizers even if you assume you will not need to use the shuttle service it arranges.

In other words, to obtain the help of organizers and to plan with them to arrive at the step-off location Thursday, September 23, and in order also to be reunited with your vehicle after Mass or return to your PT port, Sunday (or Monday), you must submit this form no later than September 19 (in 2021).

In the event you use public transportation (via air or bus), organizers will shuttle you from the respective PT terminal Thursday to the step-off location or to your lodgings nearby, and back to your PT terminal on Sunday (or Monday). For that, you also must submit the same form.

The organizer in charge of the shuttle & responsible to answer all transportation questions can help you — at your request — to form a car-pool: but only after you submit the same form.

In every case, ‘plain-vanilla pilgrims’ & pilgrim-organizers need to plan, together, in advance.

Submitting the shuttle request facilitates your transportation Thursday, September 23, from the arrival parking lot (to be determined) in Allentown to early-bird check-in at step-off location, and again Friday morning, September 24, from motel to the rendezvous point with your brigade at the step-off location.

Submit the form only after registering & submitting the fee.

Should I submit the CSRG application – for example, even if I am not returning to service in September?

Posted on May 28, 2014 by gplloyd

Yes, you should submit the application form even — especially — if you plan not to return to service in the Company of St. René Goupîl (CSRG) come September.

Why?

In order to:

  • notify fellow organizers of your plans — since they will need to know they must make plans without you this season; also to
  • identify a replacement; and, to
  • avail of the merits of your fellow-CSRGers’ prayers & acts of mercy.

    • The CSRGer who is not returning should choose check-box option nbr. 3, immediately following the “My Contact Info” section.

    Who else should use the same CSRG application form?

    1. A CSRG member returning to service in 2015 should use the same form to re-apply.

    In that case, the applicant should choose check-box option nbr. 1 immediately following the “My Contact Info” section on the form.

    2. A pilgrim applying to the CSRG for the first time should submit the same form.

    In that case, the applicant should choose check-box option nbr. 2 immediately following the “My Contact Info” section on the form.

    Who should NOT use the CSRG application form?

    Pilgrim-volunteers belonging to Divisions of organization other than the CSRG use a different form.

    Contact the Pilgrimage Director for information about that.
