It has already become a tradition that on 30 May civic initiatives organize a memorial march from Brno to Pohořelice. This year's memorial march, titled "Pilgrimage of Reconciliation", will perform a symbolic U-turn – its route will go from Pohořelice to Brno. After the start at 9:00 a.m. o'clock, an  ecumenical prayer for the victims of the march will follow at 9:30 a.m. o'clock at the Memorial Cross in Pohořelice. After that the participants will set off for their journey to Brno. At about 5:00 p.m. o'clock they will arrive at the Brothers of Charity Convent in Vídeňská Street, where they will be joined by Brno Bishop Mons. Vojtěch Cikrle along with a number of honorary guests from the Czech Republic and abroad, and in a memorial march they will jointly arrive to the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in Old Brno. At approximately 5:30 p.m. o'clock, the march will be completed with a commemoration ceremony at the monument in the garden of the Augustinian Monastery, during which church bells will chime all around town. At 7:00 p.m. o'clock, the Basilica in Old Brno will host a festive concert. On Sunday 31 May  2015 at 11.00 a.m. o'clock, Mons. Vojtěch Cikrle will celebrate a pontifical mass with a plea for reconciliation at the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in Old Brno.
