Ladies, this is your invitation from Sarah to join her on a ”Daughters of Grace” Women's pilgrimage to France in May 2026!
It's this May 4-13th, in the footsteps of St. Thérèse, her mama St. Zélie, St. Joan of Arc (”I was born to do this!”), and of course, all guided, inspired, and devoted to Our Lady. You'll pray at Notre Dame cathedral, the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal, Mont St. Michel where we'll seek the archangel's strength and protection, and culminate with a healing of hearts at Lourdes.
The themes of the dignity of women, feminine genius, the theology of the body throughout a woman's life cycle, and healing the heart of a woman will all be woven throughout the pilgrimage.
Sarah shares her pivotal memory of encountering St. John Paul II at World Youth Day in Paris in 1997 in an atmosphere of joy, gathered with thousands of youth from around by the Holy Spirit.
In this episode, Sarah shares seven reasons why she loves France and wants to take you there with her.
1. The country's devotion to Our Lady
2. French saints!
3. Breathtaking cathedrals (French Gothic architecture 😍)
4. Beauty
5. Intelligence + Elegance
6. The French Language
7. The Food
The pilgrimage costs $4,199 for the land-only package in which you arrange your travel to and from France, or $4,999 flying from Seattle.

My Novena Rose Prayer
O Little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick for me a rose
from the heavenly gardens and send it to me as a message of love.
O Little Flower of Jesus, ask God to grant the favors
I now place with confidence in your hands . .
(mention in silence here)
St. Therese, help me to always believe as you did in
God’s great love for me, so that I might imitate your “Little Way” each day.
Amen
