Seeking Pilgrimage Partners

Ave Maria!

Dear Remnant Readers, My name is Olivia Rao and I am 15 years old. I am a home-schooled highschool sophomore currently taking online classes at a Catholic academy.

I am writing to request financial aid in order to attend the Pentecostal pilgrimage to Chartres Cathedral.

I have grown up hearing about the Chartres Pilgrimage from my father, John Rao, who has participated in the Pilgrimage for the past ten years as a chaperone and lecturer; each year, he tells us about his experiences, and each year, my desire to one day go myself increases.

I have been blessed to grow up in a Traditionalist Catholic family, in a devotedly Traditionalist community in New York City, and to be able to attend the Latin Mass every Sunday at the Church of St. Agnes. The Latin Mass has been an integral part of my life, and I am deeply dedicated to it.

I am writing to you to request your financial aid in order to attend this Pilgrimage. I would be extremely grateful for any assistance you could give me which would defray the cost and make this possible. I will carry with me on the Pilgrimage the intentions of all my sponsors.

Jesus et Maria sit nobis in via.

In Corde Matris,

– Olivia Rao
