So when
they had come together, they asked him, "Lord,
will you at this time restore the kingdom to
Israel?" He said to them, "It is not for you to
know times or seasons which the Father has fixed
by his own authority. But you shall receive
power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and
in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the
earth." And when he had said this, as they were
looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took
him out of their sight. And while they were
gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men
stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of
Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven?
This Jesus, who was taken up from you into
heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him
go into heaven."

What is a Pilgrimage?
A pilgrimage is a
journey of the body as well as the soul in which our
physical travels invoke the sense of spiritual progress
toward God. As we move from site to site, visiting the
Missions and Churches of California and learning about the
saints and martyrs of our land, we reflect upon our journey
to heaven and upon those who have gone before us.
What Will This Pilgrimage Be Like?
This pilgrimage will be
a time of prayer and meditation. There will be talks and
activities on the bus and at the different stops, and in
order to encourage the spirit of prayer, reflection and
meaningful conversation, there will be no cell phones, music
players or video games allowed at any point during the
pilgrimage. In case of emergency, parents will be given the
cell phone numbers of the chaperones. In the same spirit,
all pilgrims must dress and act modestly, follow the
directions of the chaperones and participate in all
activities.
This is not just a trip
or a vacation; it is not a time to simply shop or “see the
sights,” though there will be some time for both. It is a
time to pray, reflect and grow closer to God, as well as
bond with others and make deeper, more spiritual
friendships.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Your right to refund
should you choose to cancel your reservation is limited.
Cancellations will be accepted only in exchange for a
full-paying replacement pilgrim. Once you have made a
deposit and confirmed, cancelled reservations are subject to
a $50 per person fee for cancellations.
Withdraw After Pilgrimage Begins
Once the pilgrimage is
in progress, St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Cathedral will
make no refund for any unused portion of the pilgrimage.
St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Cathedral also reserves the
right to send you home at any time if your actions are
inappropriate during the events. All additional costs to
send a pilgrim home will be borne by the pilgrim.
