Pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayo, New Mexico

The School of the Pilgrim will participate in the pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayo in June 2012! We will be hosting our friend and pilgrim guide from Egypt, Moussa Hanna. This will be his first journey to the United States. The pilgrimage to Chimayo is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe (NM), in which bands of pilgrims walk 120 miles in six days to the holy site of El Santuario de Chimayo.



Desert Spirituality Pilgrimage

The School of the Pilgrim has planned a Desert Spirituality Pilgrimage this November 9-21, 2012. This trip will include days of exploring the holy sites around Jerusalem; participating in a work project with Palestinians in Bethlehem; hiking, some jeep riding, and five days on camel back in the Sinai desert, along with a trip to historic St. Catherine's of the Sinai Monastery. Leaving from Newark, NJ, the cost of this pilgrimage (including airfare, local transportation, lodging, board, and tips) should be around $2,500 subject to price fluctuations over the next several months. Stay tuned for more information on this website, the newsletter, and blogsite: www.schoolofthepilgrim.blogspot.com.
