Eleske Pilgrimage held July 13-14th

The annual Eleske Pilgrimage was held this past weekend (July 13th-14th) at the Child Lake Nation shrine and grotto. This historic pilgrimage, which has happened every summer since 1945, included blessings of the cemetery and grotto grounds, a healing service, a Way of the Cross, an evening procession and vigil Mass, and more.

Thank you to everyone in the Beaver First Nations community and all those who joined for the pilgrimage from surrounding communities! See more photos below.
