All funds raised will go directly toward student costs for the pilgrimage. 

As part of the pilgrimage program led by the Rev’d Ruth Dantzer on campus, in April 2020 a group of UVic students will go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem to immerse themselves in the ancient stories of the Holy Land and its contemporary quest for peace.  During this 14-day journey the students will attend a course called Footsteps of Jesus offered through St. George’s Anglican College in Jerusalem.
