ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Join the ISC for a pilgrimage experience as we walk, pray, and share together in celebration of our local green spaces, honoring sacred salmon, and reflecting upon God in all things. Let us journey together in solidarity through reflection, encounter, prayer and community action for our common home and local ecosystem.

As part of the Pilgrimages of Creation nation-wide initiative, and in partnership with Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center’s Sacred Salmon Campaign, the Ignatian Spirituality Center hosts a family-friendly trail walk honoring sacred salmon and eco-kinship in our community. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark writing of Laudato Si, calling all people of goodwill to work for towards the healing of and care for all of creation and the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures.

We will be led by facilitator Anna Johnson, Director of North America for the Laudato Si Movement. This is a family-friendly event, all are welcome! We are in the planning phase, so check back soon to learn more about our location and details about the day.
