A Pilgrimage is a journey...
toward God, walking hand in hand with Jesus and the Holy Spirit,
rejuvenating the spirit, mind and soul.
A Pilgrimage produces this kind of fruit in our lives:
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self control. ?
Journey as one community of faith.
Consider this a spiritual trip of a lifetime!
