This pilgrimage features several special visits like  Lisieux, home of St. Therese of Lisieux. The pilgrims will also visit important sites of historical and cultural interest like Omaha Beach, the most dangerous D-Day invasion landing area where many brave Americans lost their lives in defense of liberty, and the liberation of France and most of the rest of Europe. Visit the American Cemetery to pay our respects and pray for the souls of these American "martyrs for freedom".
