At the end of October, while he was in Liège for the French-speaking Christian forum, the President of the French Bishops’ Conference, Mons. Eric de Moulins Beaufort, Archbishop of Reims, went to meditate in the chapel dedicated to Blessed Eugénie Joubert in the church of Saint-Gilles. He was accompanied by Mons. Etienne Vetö, his auxiliary, and Mons. Jean-Pierre Delville, Bishop of Liège. As this liturgical year comes to an end, they prayed before the relics of Blessed Eugénie Joubert in the church of Saint-Gilles in Liège.

Other pilgrimages took place over the summer:

• Vietnamese sisters from the Congregation of the Lovers of the Cross, present in the diocese of Liège, came to visit and pray Eugénie Joubert;
• a group of 62 pilgrims from the North of France stopped off at Saint-Gilles to pray the Blessed, after visiting the Sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Banneux, 20 kilometres away from Saint-Gilles. The Virgin of the poor! The catechist of the poor!
• a group of young pilgrims visiting Liège wanted to meditate in the chapel of Blessed Eugénie.
