Holy Pilgrimage
/Since the very first Holy Week, Christians have made pilgrimages to the holy places of our faith. Throughout the centuries Christians have travelled to the Holy Land, to the shrines of the martyrs, and to great cathedrals and basilicas of the faith. It can even be said that when we attend worship on Sundays, we are making a pilgrimage into Christ. Pilgrimage is holy travel that seeks to be attentive to how Christ is present within our midst.
St. Mark’s has offered pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to Italy in recent history. See below for the future pilgrimages that are being offered.
