When a group of people decide to go back to its roots, few are quite as literal about the venture as the members of Kankakee's St. Teresa Catholic Church, at 361 N. St. Joseph Ave.
The effort begins this weekend with a community-building parish festival. It culminates in November when the Rev. Sunny Castillo will lead a contingent of his church family on a pilgrimage to France.
"We plan to visit Lisieux, and see the Carmelite monastery where St. Therese spent her years," he said. "It's located in Normandy, not that far from Paris.
"This will be our second pilgrimage. And I think it's good to find out more about what our church is all about."
Meanwhile, the festival — set for Friday through Sunday — is more about where the parish is heading.
"We had a 'dream Sunday' a couple of years ago and I asked [the parishioners] to tell me what they thought God wanted from us," Pastor Castillo said.
