Less than a month before that, she will be honored by the pilgrims walking the annual &#8220;Pilgrimage for Restoration&#8221; to Auriesville, New York.

This will mark the seventeenth time that a merry band of Catholic pilgrims cuts a path from Lake George to Auriesville, New York, doing penance all the way.
