Faithful throughout the Diocese of Trenton will have the opportunity to visit their spiritual home during a biennial retreat, which will take place Nov. 7.

Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., has extended an invitation for those throughout the Diocese to join him on the biennial pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, Nov. 7. The day-long event, themed “In Communion with Jesus: A Pilgrimage to Mary’s House,” is expected to draw thousands from the Diocese to the Washington landmark.

As a way to encourage parishioners from around the Diocese to attend, a number of parishes are sponsoring busses to Washington. Following is a schedule of bus coordinators and locations that are listed below by county and parish.
