Each year, we take a pilgrimage with our high school youth. Pilgrimage is a faith practice and not just a travel experience. It invites us to savor every step of the journey of life, not just the destination. We are on a faith journey and we know we do not move through the world alone. A pilgrimage opens our eyes to people in our life that offer us encouragement and inspiration for this journey.

Sailing the Chesapeake Bay, youth will have the opportunity to learn to sail, quiet their minds, and deepen their faith. We will practice mindfulness daily. Mindful eating, mindful seeing, mindful listening. Mindfulness helps us be present, ease anxiety, notice grateful moments and connect with God. We will learn the art of centering prayer that we can carry back into our everyday lives.
