Lieutenancy Pilgrimage
The following tour and pilgrimage opportunities are under consideration for 2023 and 2024. The group minimum size is twenty (20) travelers, and should the minimum not be reached, the tour will be cancelled.
While joining all of these opportunities is a noble goal, it is not the expectation. These opportunities are different ways to complement and grow in the spiritual life.
