Since its first edition back in 2015, the Pilgrimage has
become an unmissable event for the good people.
It now looks like the yearly visit of children to their
grandparents in the village, where they now they will receive a lot of love and
affection, they can tell everything to their grandparents and know they can
change everything.
The Good people also prepare this looking for love,
affection and protection knowing they can surrender everything to our Holy
Mother.

Inviting Mary and her son in a wedding or a party has proven
to be so helpful, people from Cana can tell. Following their example our first
wish is to invite our mother and her son in our 20th Anniversary
Concert and party and in all the activities preparing the events.
The Pilgrimage is scheduled on Saturday the 11th of March
2017 and the transport fees are 2700 frw including money of what will be shared
(Lunch).
For those who would like to know how it’s done, here are
some hints.
It all starts with a novena nine days before the departure
done every day after the morning mass, and the departure is usually scheduled
at 7am after the Saturday morning Mass. It takes more or less an hour to reach
the Holy Land of Kibeho where pilgrims are welcomed in a hall where they
receive a talk about the history of Kibeho followed by a Q&A session and
concluded by the documentary of Kibeho.

There after they receive some few minutes of meditation and
prayer especially at the place where apparitions happened back in the 80s just
before the 11 am mass.

After the mass pilgrims go down to the water source which its
water has proven to have healing powers. Then comes the time climb back to the
chapel and climb again to a small hill named “Golgotha” which also has the 15
stations of the way of the cross…these which helps to meditate on the passion
of Jesus Christ.
