Warriors to Lourdes: The Fisks’ Story
0:00
Following major complications during their son’s birth, U.S. Army Capt. Adam Fisk and his wife, Morgan, were told their baby would suffer long-term brain trauma. They attribute their son’s miraculous recovery to Our Lady of Lourdes, and in 2019, had the opportunity to visit the international shrine in thanksgiving — as participants of the Warriors to Lourdes pilgrimage, which brings military personnel and their families to Lourdes, France, for rest, prayer and healing. Sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, the initiative coincides with the International Military Pilgrimage, established in 1946 to promote reconciliation and peace after World War II, and with the Order’s long history of providing hospitality and spiritual resources for military personnel — including the first military pilgrimage to Lourdes, which followed World War I. As the first in-person Warriors to Lourdes pilgrimage since 2019 is scheduled for May 2022, you are invited to help sponsor pilgrims and bring healing to military families.
