Overview
The capstone of the Spiritual Formation Certificate program is to go on pilgrimage, and we are excited to be offering a soul-captivating journey to Taizé and other destinations in France. Our journey together will be built around a historic perspective of French monasticism. Pilgrims will stay overnight at several monastic communities and participate in worship and meals with those who have been called to this service. Along the way we will learn, worship, reflect, and pray together. Pilgrimage will begin when the group gathers in Paris on September 20, 2019.
