Suggestion #1: Place only the things you think you absolutely need on your bed; then pack half of what you see. |
Clothing: No one should enter a Catholic Church dressed immodestly. Neither should you wear any immodest clothing at any time on this pilgrimage. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Suggestion #2: Pack a medium sized backpack or a suitcase with everything you think you need. Get on the public transportation in your city, go to the mall and walk around with it for five hours, then walk up and down every stairway you happen to see on your way home…then repack with a smaller backpack. |
Dispensations: Priests and religious may need to bring additional items, but if you are lay, forget it. We also welcome acoustic instruments. |
