CCVI Heritage Pilgrimage

This tour is not a tour at all, but a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is defined as "a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person goes in search of new or expanded meaning about their self, others, nature, or a higher good, through the experience."

This pilgrimage is a journey to the places and through the lives of the women who write the story of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word.

The places and the stories will reveal a culture of service, a love of God and sense of mission, that caused thousands of women to leave family, language, and sense of belonging for a "higher good." It is the purpose of this pilgrimage, that in coming to know their stories, and the stories of those with whom they served, the pilgrim will be inspired and emboldened to write their own story into the story of the Congregtion, and the One to whom they give their lives.
