Join us on Saturday, May 2nd for our Spring Semester pilgrimage, where we will visit the Carmel of Port Tobacco--  the site of the first Carmelite monastery in the United States! We will get a chance to have a Q&A with the 15+ carmelite sisters in residence, and hear how they discerned to leave the comforts of this world out of love for Jesus. Many of the sisters are quite young and quite extroverted, which is hilarious!

After the witness talk, we’ll have some time to shop in the Sister’s gift shop, where they sell sculptures, medals, books, icon cards, notebooks, crafts and more! 

We will meet at 6:45am to drive to the monastery. This pilgrimage is free and provides free transportation, but you should bring money for the gift shop (optional) and for breakfast (we’ll meet at Chick-Fil-A in La Plata after the Carmel gift shop). We’ll be back on Campus by 12:30pm!
