Led by Fr. Sam Sawyer, S.J., president and editor in chief of America Media, and Fr. James Martin, S.J., editor at large, we will travel throughout some of France’s most sacred sites. Following in the footsteps of St. Bernadette, we will convene in Lourdes and make our way to Normandy, Mont St. Michel, Lisieux (home of the beloved St. Therese the Little Flower) and to Paris (where St. Ignatius first conceived of the Society of Jesus). This pilgrimage will offer educational sessions, Masses at holy sites, faith sharing, and time for individual and group prayer and spiritual reflection.
