Take a Pilgrimage with Trinity
Walk together toward transformation
The pilgrim journey begins with an intention: to awaken to the divine within and around you. Together we step away from everyday routines and follow the path of faithful saints who’ve walked before us.
In May 2027, travel to Italy with author and philosopher James K.A. Smith and Trinity’s Faith Formation and Education team to trace the rich history of the Christian faith across the cities of Milan, Assisi, and Rome.

Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars.

Explore Past Pilgrimages
2023: Following in the Footsteps of St. Paul
Trinity pilgrims journeyed through Greece and Rome to follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul.
2019: A Pilgrimage to The Holy Land
During Lent in 2019, 27 members and friends of Trinity Church joined together to travel on pilgrimage for 10 days through Jerusalem, Galilee, and other parts of the West Bank and Israel, We explored the sites that pilgrims through the centuries have venerated, and learned more about and from the “living stones” — the people who continue to share this troubled, beautiful, and holy land.
2018: Northern Ethiopia for the Epiphany Festival of Timkat
The religious practice of northern Ethiopia, Christian since the fourth century, is at once regally solemn and exuberantly joyful. Eighteen pilgrims from Trinity Church in New York City traveled there during the feast of the Epiphany, Ethiopia’s largest religious celebration, to immerse ourselves in this spiritual and cultural abundance. This is a brief daily record of that journey.
2017: Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, North Dakota
In August 2017 nearly 30 Trinity youth and adult parishioners and staff traveled on pilgrimage at the invitation of Deacon Brandon Mauai and the Episcopal Church in Standing Rock, North Dakota.
2017: Canterbury, England
This trip involved traveling along the medieval route known as the Pilgrims Way, which begins in the old English capital city of Winchester, and ends in Canterbury.
2016: Iona, Scotland
The Abbey building is a world all its own, with a rich history and a strong presence on the island. It's on the site of Columba's 6th-century monastery, which was a major center of learning, arts, and mission in the British Isles and Europe for hundreds of years until it's refounding as a Benedictine community in the 12th century. Ruined and now rebuilt, it is home to a thriving ecumenical Iona Community with a worldwide mission of reconciliation and justice.
