After missing the last few years, the Hickman family participated in the 10.5 mile long Pilgrimage walk to the Shrine of the Jesuit Martyrs in Auriesville, NY.
It was a good day of faith, family and camaraderie. The pilgrimage climaxed with a Solemn High Mass in the Shrine basilica on the very ground where several Jesuit priests were cruelly tortured and eventually killed by their Native captives. In addition to the many converts these courageous missionary priests and faithful help make among the Indians of the region, a flower would also sprout from that very location, one nicknamed the "Lily of the Mohawks", Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha.
