The first pilgrimage from Great Meadows to Doylestown took place in 1988 organized by a committee consisting of Rev. Ignatius Kuziemski, Sister Teresa Gradowska, Sister Karolina Mackiewicz and Mrs. Emilia Golaszewska. At that time there were thirty-three pilgrims.

By 2007, the number of pilgrims on the 20th pilgrimage swelled to more than two thousand people. In that year responsibility for running the event fell to the Salvatorian Fathers who serve in the parish of Sts. Peter and Paul in Great Meadows.
