Katholic Ken and I to talk about my upcoming trips

Back when Reagan was a president, not an airport, was the one and only time I have been on an airplane. It was a round-trip flight to Newark New Jersey, in an out of National airport (now Reagan national) and Dulles International.

That was 40 years ago.

Nothing before or since has prepared me for what the next few weeks hold.

I am briefly going to talk about each day, each destination and the heavenly figures I will encounter.

August 30th, 2025- September1st.

This day, I fly out of Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It will be my first ever visit to the sunshine state. Ironically, it is expected to be cloudy and overcast.

For some reason that I cannot fully understand, coming to grips with the horrible tragedy that occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglass high school in Parkland is part of my road to recovery and redemption. Seeing how God raises good out of a horrific tragedy, I will visit and pray at that school.

So, the persons I will encounter there are the fatal victims of that horrific crime. There were 17:

• Luke Hoyer

• Martin Duque Anguiano

• Gina Montalto

• Alex Schacter

• Nicholas Dworet

• Helena Ramsay

• Alaina Petty

• Allysa Alhadeff

• Carmen Schentrup

• Chris Hixon

• Aaron Feis

• Scott Beigal

• Meadow Pollack

• Cara Loughran

• Joaquin Oliver

• Jaime Guttenberg

• Peter Wang

I have personally spoken to family members of 4 of them (blue). Tony Montalto, father of Gina, was a guest on our podcast and we are making a particular connection with her.

After visiting the school, we will attend Mass at Gina's church- Mary, Help of Christians and then lay roses on her grave at the Queen of Heaven cemetery. I know a connection will be made to our blessed mother under those titles.

The next day is all about Our Lady of Victory. Always looking for meaning in even the small things, I know that the victory of Our Lady's university- Notre Dame over the dreaded Miami Hurricanes will be a piece in my journey to victory.

September 5th. I complete the First Friday devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

September 8th- Birthday of my heavenly and earthly mothers.

September 10th- My birthday.

September 11th- 24-year anniversary of that horrible day, we will talk about the heroes of United 93.

October 6th- Normandy. Another chance to process how God works through tragic events. Mont St. Michel a site dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel on the so-called "Sword of Saint Michael" group of sites.

October 7th- Paris

This is what our pilgrimage group says of our day in Paris.

We begin our tour of Paris at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. After celebrating Holy Mass, we will have the opportunity to view the incorrupt body of St. Catherine Laboure. The Saint’s guardian angel led her to the chapel where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her. During the apparitions, Our Lady repeatedly instructed the making and purpose of the Miraculous Medal. According to the Blessed Virgin Mary, those who wear the Miraculous Medal will receive special protection and abundant graces. We will then walk to Saint Vincent de Paul Church, which is nearby.

Continue our tour of Paris with a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral, which has recently reopened to individual visitors. Guided group tours are scheduled to resume in June 2025. The panoramic bus tour will take us to many other sites in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides, the L’Arch de Triomphe, and the Champ-Elysees. We will stop at La Madeleine, which has a beautiful statue of St. Mary Magdalene being carried to heaven by angels. Your busy day ends with a lovely meal and a comfortable overnight.

Paris is practically a full pilgrimage by itself!

I should mention that inside Notre Dame cathedral is a relic of the true crown of thorns and the restoration from the 2019 fire mirrors my own journey.

October 8th- Fly back home

October 9th-11th- Our Lady of Champion, Wisconsin. The only approved apparition site in America, it will be the 5th miraculous Marian site on my journey.

October 13th- My last day off and the anniversary of the miracle at Fatima.

This is going to be a journey of incredible graces and miracles. I believe this with all my heart.

Join me and Ken as we discuss.
