Encountering Christ “along the road” is a hallmark of Christianity in general, and of Ignatian Spirituality in particular. Before he was a Saint or “Ignatius,” Inigo Lopez de Onaz y Loyola, a founder of the Society of Jesus was a “pilgrim.” The Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province occasionally offers pilgrimages to places of religious significance. These trips are typically led by a Jesuit of the province and arranged by a professional tour organizer. Upcoming pilgrimages will be added to this page when they are scheduled.
