J2A Pilgrimage 2006
"The California Mission Trail"

 

In June 2006, eight pilgrims and their leaders flew to Santa Barbara, CA to begin their journey along the California Mission Trail.

Making paper cranes and volunteering in the community kitchen in Santa Barbara.

We headed to the
Channel Islands.

Time for some relaxation...

 

Worshipping at St. Stephen's in San Luis Obispo.
We explored more missions and traveled up the coast to Big Sur.
In Big Sur we met some young women traveling from Africa. They taught us to dance.
Cooking meals and doing chores around the hostels.
The food pantry at St. Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco feeds 300 people every Friday.

At Grace Cathedral we walked the labyrinths - inside and outside.
We did some volunteer work with an animal rescue organization and visited Muir Woods.

On our last Sunday in California, we worshipped at St. Gregory of Nyssa.

Our pilgrimage was a wonderful spiritual adventure - growing closer to God and each other. Here are some final photos.
