Hello,
Onward Pilgrims is a terrific show!
It represents a "youthful" side of EWTN and these young adults openly
share their faith and their struggles together in a group with a leader,
Fr. Mariusz. (Same formula for church youth groups).
Pilgrimages do not have to take us across the ocean to Europe, most of
us cannot afford that. We can find many, many local shrines, basilicas,
cathedrals, etc. in the cities and the countryside across the USA and
Canada. If your church doesn't have a youth group to meet this way
together regularly, use the show as a formula and start one!

I was surprised to see Rene' on TV so we
started to record the program. Onward Pilgrims. I met Rene' during the first
year of our newly formed young adult group at Christ The King in Richland,
Washington. I find it hard to believe that she could improve her
spirituality. She had taught me a lot about faith. I was supposed to be
teaching them. You see I was their substitute teacher or what ever I was
called. We really miss her.

First I just want to say I watch Onward
Pilgrims almost every time it's on.
I feel close to you guys. Watching the part in Lourdes reminds me of my
pilgrimage to Lourdes with my family. I am in a wheelchair and it was there
that I felt the presence of Jesus through Mary. I found meaning in my
suffering and I really grew in my faith. I had a spiritual healing--greater
than a physical healing. The feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is coming up soon
so I want to know how has the pilgrimage in Lourdes changed you guys?
Peace.
ps: I also used to be shy, it was in Lourdes where I lost some of that even
to the point of singing Ave in the Rosary Procession.
Good Morning,
"Onward Pilgrims!" is an inspiring television show. I always make a point of
viewing it on EWTN. Last night, I was brought to tears by the show about
Lourdes.

Hello everyone!!
I think your program is very inspiring for young adults and I have
enjoyed watching it on Thursday nights. I was just wondering if you know of
any pilgrimages for young adults that doesn't involve a camera?? Were any
you of you able to make it to World Youth day?
I am 25 years old and my faith is very strong. However, it can be
very discouraging to see that there aren't many young adults who share this
interest. Do you ever find it difficult to practice your faith in such a
society? I want to practice my faith daily, but it can be difficult when
most of my friends don't have a relationship with God. It would just be nice
to have a circle of friends that could share their passion for God. Thank
you all for your pilgrimage of faith!!!!
God bless!

I love the series! I was fortunate to be able to go to Lourdes recently, and that episode especially brought back so many wonderful memories.
Please let me know if and/or when the series is available for purchase.
Thanks again!

Great projects for the youth of the church to
be doing. Meeting other Catholics and the different cultures. Keep it up .
Pray many others will follow, PROUD TO BE CATHOLIC
I would be most interested in purchasing the
tapes for my handicapped son who is 26. He is a regular watcher of EWTN,
Life on the Rock, and he has been spellbound watching the series thus far.
Please let me know when they will be available.
Sincerely, Rita L
The Pilgrim series has me riveted. Witnessing
Catholic youth demonstrate such fervor in their faith is inspirational. They
represent everything good, as they strive to strengthen their relationship
with God and His mother.
I am curious as to the name of the organization represented by those
pilgrims in uniform, as well as the banners they carry. They are referred to
as, "Scouts."
Again, I commend you on the addition of this Series to your broadcast.

Dear Pilgrims,
TONIGHT WAS AWESOME. JUST WISH THERE WAS MORE TIME FOR THIS PROGRAM. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU ARE ALMOST WALKING IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS AND THE PROGRAM IS OVER WITH.
THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS EXPERIENCE WITH US, YOUR VIEWERS.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE NEXT WEEKS SERIES.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU ON YOUR WAY TO HOLINESS.

Hello,
The new series "Pilgrims Onward" has really been a source of inspiration for me. It is a good show. Thanks.
Peace,
Marquis
What a wonderful idea for a series. About 5 years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to go on pilgrimage to France and two years ago to Italy. When I watched this new series for the first time it awoke in me the desire to put my pilgrim shoes back on and head for the holy places of our forefathers in faith. It was fun to see your pilgrims experiencing some of the many wonderful things that our little pilgrim band also experienced. I hope that it will inspire others who have never been on pilgrimage to hit the road to holiness. God bless you for doing His work through this new series.

I happened upon the show this evening after having a very bad week. God does act in mysterious ways. Just found it wonderful to see young people
trying to find their path and being proud of being Catholic. Not seen very often here. Just reminded me of things I've been
forgetting lately.
Have a wonderful and blessed journey and good luck.
In peace, Janine R.

WOW ! What a great intro for this series! I liked the way you introduced us
to some of the pilgrims. We enjoyed seeing where their journey was
beginning. We look forward to knowing more about how this wonderful tour and
spiritual journey will affect them.
Your creative approach in filming is -- youthful and hip - the camera work is
fresh. It is visually interesting to watch. You left us eager to see more!
We have traveled to some of these places and I can't wait to see how you will
share them with us both spiritually and visually.
Will you be airing this first program again? I would like to share it with
friends. Can I get a copy of it?
This program is an exciting addition to EWTN - Thanks - till the next episode

THE PILGRIMS ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ME AND THOSE WHO WATCH THIS PROGRAM.
I MUST TRULY SAY THAT WAITING FOR EACH NEW SITE IS GREATLY ANTICIPATED, AND TO WATCH THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE "LORD AND OUR LADY" IS INSPIRING.
THE 30 MINUTE PROGRAM IS CERTAINLY NOT LONG ENOUGH, ARE MAYBE IT IS THE ANTICIPATION OF ALMOST BEING THERE WITH THEM AT THE NEXT "HOLY PLACE" FOR EACH WEEK IS ANOTHER "AWESOME" HOLY PLACE.
I EAGERLY AWAIT THE NEXT "HOLY PLACE" THAT THESE PILGRIMS WILL JOURNEY TOO.
THANK YOU AND "GOD" BLESS
