Tour Highlights

 In 1934 times were tough in the town of Ponteix, Saskatchewan. At the request of their Bishop the people organized a pilgrimage to pray for the end of the drought.    The pilgrimage is an annual event, drawing hundreds from neighboring communities, and as some recall, even visiting Bishops from France.  Join us this year on the pilgrimage.  

  • Ponteix was settled by French-speaking Catholics from Europe and Quebec, making it a center of Francophone Catholic tradition on the Canadian prairies.
  • Visiting the shrine connects pilgrims to the faith journey of early Catholic settlers in Saskatchewan.
  • Like all pilgrimages, a visit to Ponteix offers time for prayer, reflection, and a break from daily distractions.
  • Pilgrims can participate in Eucharistic adoration, confession, and prayer services
The shrine houses a historic statue of Our Lady of Auvergne, which was brought from France in the early 1900s by Fr. Albert Royer, a missionary from Auvergne, France.
