Their backgrounds and journeys couldn’t be any more different than they already are, spanning nearly 9,000 miles from Steubenville, Ohio to Las Vegas and Ho Chi Minh City.

A group of seminarians walked nearly 375 miles this summer, visiting more than two dozen parishes in a walking pilgrimage across the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln.
They began May 19 at St. Benedict in Nebraska City on the Iowa border. The group then walked west, averaging nearly 15 miles per day, and concluded June 16 at St. Joseph Parish in Benkelman, just miles from the Colorado border.

The woman behind me handed me a pamphlet as I left my holy hour. I grasped the paper and offered a polite, “Thank you,” as I walked out of the adoration chapel. I’ll read it later. Probably. Maybe. I mean, it’s not that I don’t care about the rosary or Mary, but honestly, I do not need one more thing on my plate.
A few days later, I saw the same organization listed in the church bulletin, along with meeting times. My eyes skimmed right past it. Who has time for that in the middle of the day?
