Pilgrimages
To Holy Island and Home Again:
Saint Cuthbert’s Way
Scotland and England, June 2026 - TRIPS FULL
Walk the gorse-covered hills of the Scottish Borders, visit the ruins of 900-year-old abbeys, cross the moors of Northumberland England, and finish your pilgrimage traversing the floor of the North Sea to Holy Island. And all the while, trace the steps of St. Cuthbert, a pastor’s saint, as we reflect on our lives and calls.
Cammino Celeste:
The Heavenly Way, Slovenian Route
Italy and Slovenia, August 2026 - TRIP FULL
For 600 years, pilgrims from three cultures have traveled to the Santuario del Monte Lussari, a stunning mountaintop church in northeastern Italy. Join us on a Marian pilgrimage from the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Brezje, Slovenia, through the breathtaking Triglav National Park, across the Italian border and up to our own mountaintop experience.
Bright Magnus Pray for Us: St. Magnus Way
Orkney Islands, Scotland - Summer 2027
Off the coast of northern Scotland, lie the windswept Orkney Islands, home to neolithic ruins older than the pyramids, a circle of standing stones as impressive as Stonehenge, a chapel created out of refuse by Italian prisoners of war, and St. Magnus’ Way, the pilgrimage path that honors the Viking saint beheaded by his rival at Easter 1117.
“Pilgrimage is premised on the idea that the sacred is not entirely immaterial, but that there is a geography of spiritual power.”
— Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
