We cordially invite everyone to the interstate bicycle pilgrimage “Faithful in Faith on a Bike” to the American Częstochowa. The pilgrimage takes place every year in July on St. Christopher’s patron saint of drivers, it lasts 7 days and is 350 miles (560 km) long. We set off from Boston, drive through the five states of MA, CT, NY, NJ, PA to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Doleystown.

The organizer and originator of the campaign is Bogusław Gawęda. The idea to organize a bicycle pilgrimage was born in his head in 2014, when his father fell ill with cancer, and he, carrying the intention and asking God to take care of his sick dad, went to the American Czestochowa. He set off from our MSH Church in Wallington. Boguslaw ‘s dad died on the feast of St. Christopher, and his son introduced a plan to regularly organize bicycle pilgrimages into life.

As every year, each of you can choose the starting point yourself, depending on your own abilities. I cordially invite everyone who is interested. I sincerely ask for your prayers for our pilgrimage
