Please receive our Pilgrims

Melvin Sickler

The Pilgrims of Saint Michael go on the road to do apostolate work, to teach, to give the people hope, to evangelize the Faith. They leave their comforts, their homes, going outside in all kinds of weather, walking with their feet to knock on doors to visit the families. They volunteer their time, their talents to work for a better world, relying on Divine Providence to take care of their basic needs, asking for their food and a place to sleep. It is true charity without cowardice.

As a full-time Pilgrim of Saint Michael, I do apostolate work extensively across Canada and the United States, taking the road, asking for my needs as go along. In all humility, I consider it a great honor that I can be a little instrument working with Heaven for the salvation of souls, to build the Kingdom of the Immaculate. As my deceased Directress, Mrs. Mercier, used to say, “Rejoice to have been chosen!”

Yes, it an honor and a great privilege that I can still work as a missionary to reach out to others and evangelize. But I need the assistance of others in order to be able to accomplish this so-important mission.

This is a call asking if you could receive me or other Pilgrims in your home for a night or two while we do apostolate work in our area. A pull-out couch and simple nutritious food is all we ask; we are not difficult to please as we try to live in a spirit of poverty. But it would mean so much if you could open up your home for at least one night as that would open up your entire area for us to do apostolate work in.

There are huge areas to cover with our literature, with our message of hope and truth. There are so many souls that need to be reached. Oh, so much to do all over! But by receiving a Pilgrim in your home, your entire area would be opened up to the apostolate work of “Michael”.

If you are able to assist us in this regard, please write us (in Canada) at: Michael Journal, 1101 Prin- cipale Street, Rougemont, QC J0L 1M0. In the USA, you can write to: Michael Journal, P.O. Box 86, South Deerfield, MA 01373.

Remember: Those who receive an apostle receive the reward of the apostle, so nothing that we do for the love of our neighbor will go unrewarded! Heaven will certainly greatly reward you for the least act of charity that you do.
