	Pilgrimage intentions of XXX, XXXI and XXXII Skałeczna Walking Pilgrimage participants

	Pilgrims take part in the pilgrimage with a particular purpose, a single or multiple intentions. Intention can be religious or secular. In this article we focus on individual intentions of pilgrims taking part in Skałeczna Walking Pilgrimage from Kraków to Jasna Góra in Częstochowa. Each pilgrim apart from individual intentions devotes his or her effort in the collective intentions of the whole pilgrimage. In recent years, late pope John Paul II played an important role in the collective intentions of pilgrimage from Kraków to Jasna Góra.
	Results presented in this paper has been obtained from two sources. We collected 579 surveys between 2006 and 2008 and conducted a number of individual interviews. Our results show that almost always pilgrims travel with religious intentions. Using an open question format, we found that majority of intentions were begging intentions (477 answers), grace intentions are the second most popular and were indicated in 172 answers. Penance intention has only been mentioned in 30 answers. Only a few pilgrims picked secular intentions. Our results clearly show that religious intentions are still the most popular one.
