On Sunday, October 16, a large group of OLSWA students hiked to the neighbouring community of Wilno on the annual, autumnal pilgrimage. As usual, they started out from the Academy early in the afternoon, making their way through town and onto the wide dirt path of the old railway track which leads from Barry’s Bay to Wilno, ten kilometres away. This year’s hike took place a few weeks later than in previous years, but the weather held out nonetheless and the pilgrims enjoyed a fine autumn day to walk, sing and pray before reaching the beautiful Saint Mary’s Church at the top of one of Wilno’s hills. Following a short time of reflection there, and a look at the stunning panorama, the travellers were welcomed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Zakrzewski for a hearty outdoor meal and delicious home-made pies, around a glowing campfire and under the last light of a beautiful sunset.
