A Pilgrimage is different from a tour. I have mademany pilgrimages to ancient Celtic sites and Irishmonasteries, places associated with St. Francisand St. Clare of Assisi, and St. Joan of Arc, pre-Christian European sacred places, literary sources,the Holy Land of Israel/Palestinian territoriestheFifth Gospel, to name a few. They all had anumber of things in common, not mere travel butsoulful. Learn the seven stages of a sacredjourney, whether the pilgrimage be virtual or real,near or far, literary, religious or of another form.Recommended for all who have been on or areconsidering going on a Pilgrimage of any kind.

(Especially recommended for upcoming Holy LandPilgrims, either new or returning. This will also be anopportunity to meet Fr. Gene Pistacchio, OFM inadvance of the Holy Land Pilgrimage.)

Contact Dr. Jackie Stewart to register at 617-542-6440ext. 143 or email SAS.Evang@gmail.com. Please leave your name, telephone no., and thecourse, date/time you wish to attend.
