The Minor Friars of Albania have organized this year the 34th Franciscan Pilgrimage: “… it produced a hundred”. There are several years this pilgrimage is held in Albania and its main aim is repentance, which means that each pilgrim takes on him the burden of difficulties, the fatigue of the way, and asks forgiveness of the sins. The pilgrimage is also characterized by making new friends, sharing, etc.
The pilgrimage, leaded by Br. Nuncio, was held during 25 July to 3 August 2014, following the itinerary Delvina – Vlora – Shkodra. On June 24, the pilgrims reached Delvina, where the next day they had a spiritual retreat.
Then, during the following days, the pilgrims they walked: Delvina-Lukova-Borsh-Kuç-Vranishtë-Gjorm-Babica, reached Dajç B.Bunës by transport means, and walked again Dajç-Shkodra.
Two Malteser volunteers Luçjano Blinishta dhe Mateo Lamnija were part of the pilgrimage. With a special invitation to the Malteser Youth, who as a devoted catholic group holds a wide action in the north region, these volunteers were chosen as the most active ones.
The pilgrims were accompanied and assisted all the time by the auto ambulance and the Malteser First Aid Team, offering the first aid in different cases.
