We are looking for individuals interested in becoming Statue Guardian pilgrims for this bicentennial event.

As a Statue Guardian Pilgrim, you will be committing to at least three full days of the pilgrimage route. You will be part of a core team that carries the statue and leads daily prayers. This is a first-come-first-serve sign up, with a maximum of 10 guardians per leg, and there will be a $25 non-refundable deposit, which includes water, t-shirt, and a commemorative gift.

Overnight accommodations:
Option 1: You will be housed by a parish.
Option 2: You will plan your own housing accommodations (whether returning home or staying at a hotel). You will also be responsible for your own transportation to and from the appropriate parish sites. The CNE/AOC is only responsible for returning Statue Guardians on their final day to the location of their parked cars from the first day of their leg.

HOW DO I SIGN UP TO BE A STATUE GUARDIAN?
