COLUMN BY BISHOP CONLEY: Dec. 7, 2011 - I have been blessed to make many pilgrimages in my Catholic life. I have walked an ancient pilgrims' path in Spain. I have prayed in Lourdes, where our Blessed Mother appeared. I have walked in the Holy Land, in the footsteps of Jesus. This June, I will lead a 10-day pilgrimage to the Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, Ireland.
