CWN Editor's Note: A record 18,000 traditionalist Catholics concluded an annual pilgrimage with an outdoor Latin Mass at the cathedral at Chartres, France on May 20.
The pilgrimage, held annually since 1983, brings together a growing group of mostly young Catholics seeking the restoration of the traditional liturgy. This year organizers were forced to close off registration as the number of pilgrims exceeded their capacity.
A second pilgrimage, organized by the Society of St Pius X, concluding in Paris, drew another 7,000 participants.
