Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, who will lead the pilgrimage, spoke about the spiritual impact that the pilgrimage should have on those participating, while Father Jonathan Meyer, associate director of the archdiocesan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, and Michael Grueninger, of Grueninger Tours (who is organizing the pilgrimage), both spoke about what sorts of things the people need to prepare for materially and bring on the trip.
