2.000 Young Faithful: New Record at Pilgrimage of Roman Rite in Argentina

Dom Louis-Marie de Geyer d'Orth, Abbot of Barroux, France, celebrated the closing Mass of the 15th pilgrimage in the Roman Rite to Luján, Argentina, on October 13.

With nearly 2,000 participants, this year's pilgrimage set a new record, reports InfoCatolica.com. For the first time, a chapter from Guadalajara, Mexico, participated.

More than two dozen priests accompanied the faithful for three days on the hundred kilometer journey between Rawson and Luján, in the province of Buenos Aires.

The number of faithful doubled at Sunday Mass, as friends and family members joined them.

Holy Mass was celebrated on improvised altars in tents.

The pilgrimage ended at the Basilica of Luján. In the Basilica only the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the recitation of the Rosary were possible, not Holy Mass ("todos, todos, todos").
