In total, around one hundred people participated in the journey.

"This meeting has granted us the strength and hope reminding us how important it is to maintain the spiritual unity of our Local Church".
In His message to the pilgrims the Pope has highlighted the significance of each member of the community:
"Each of us is like a stone in the Church's structure; even the smallest part is important for the sturdiness of the Church as a whole. Together we carry the joint responsibility before the Lord."
Then the pilgrimage participants together read the Lord's Prayer in Russian.
