✝️ This summer, Carroll College Campus Ministry led a group of students on a two-week pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi, visiting sacred sites, deepening their faith, and experiencing the rich traditions of the Catholic Church.

“For me, the most powerful moment was a graced time of prayer up at St. Francis’ hermitage... The place was holy with the prayers of the Saints, and the treasure of relationship with God was there waiting for me.” — Chris Yakawich, Campus Minister & Assistant Director of Campus Ministry

“Pilgrimage was an incredible opportunity to witness God’s providential love for us... Praying where saints have prayed and walking with them throughout this pilgrimage renewed my excitement and love for our faith!” — Tori Wallace, Sophomore

From ancient basilicas to the quiet mountains of Assisi, students encountered the beauty of the global Catholic community, strengthened their faith, and built lasting community with one another. This pilgrimage was a powerful reminder that faith is a journey meant to be shared. 🏛️
