Three new Pilgrim Mother Co-ordinators from the parishes of Thornlie, Canning Vale and Baldvis have recently been commissioned for the Schoenstatt Movement.
The Pilgrim Mother Apostolate (PMA) consists of co-ordinators who manage responsibility for a Pilgrim Shrine to regularly visit a group of families for a few days every month.
Fellow Pilgrim Mother Co-ordinators in attendance were also given a blessing to continue their work.
The commissioning took place as part of the annual Schoenstatt Pilgrimage Sunday 26 May and was attended by some 140 people.
The pilgrimage, in honour of the Virgin Mary, was led by Armadale Parish Priest Fr Mark Baumgarten with attendees reciting the rosary
A number of children also followed carrying flowers during the procession, which was followed by three reflection readings from Schoenstatt founder, Fr Joseph Kentenich on the theme “With Trust and Hope We Go With You, Mary”.
The ceremony concluded with Benediction, afternoon tea and fellowship.
