Our pilgrimage begins in Mexico City after 2 flights across 2 time zones and 30 hours of travel time in transit.
After a night rest we travelled from Mexico City to the town of Puebla where we would spend the next 2 days and encounter some pretty special experiences.
First stop in Puebla is mass at Sta. Maria Tonantzintla - here we meet our volunteers who would be taking care of us before celebrating mass in this beautiful chapel!
From here we had lunch before scaling an old pyramid to reach the chapel of Our Lady of Remedies.
Our next day begins with a prayer in a beautiful chapel in the city of Puebla before we split up into groups to our separate ministry visits.
This was a very special and unique encounter for all, having the chance to sing, dance, play and chat with students from very different, yet similar cultures.
Afterwards we headed to one of the Major Seminaries in the city of Puebla for mass and a fiesta filled with traditional dancing, a surprise mariachi band and of course, lots of authentic Mexican food, prepared and served by the seminarians themselves.
It was a sad farewell at the end of the evening as we said goodbye (or rather, see ya later) to our volunteers.
