Senior Pilgrimage
A pilgrimage gives us as Christians the opportunity to travel to a specific place in order to encounter
God in a way that’s different from ordinary life.
While our students are used to retreats which land in one place and stay there, our senior pilgrimage will give us the opportunity to travel to multiple sites and to discuss different ways that God wants to encounter us there!
In a particular way, this new format will give students the opportunity to visit a college campus to connect with alumni and faith opportunities at the next academic level.
The senior pilgrimage is 2 days/one over-night packed full of fun and meaningful activities. Regardless of location, each pilgrimage will run from approximately 8:00 am Sunday morning through 3:15 pm on Monday, returning in time for after-school activities. Any student who has concerns about participating is encouraged to reach out to Campus Ministry.
