Join St. Catherine of Siena on a Pilgrimage to Italy
Join us for SCA’s biennial pilgrimage as we honor our namesake, St. Catherine of Siena, and pay homage to our inherent Catholic identity. Rooted in a spirit of faith and tradition, this journey invites students to encounter Christ more deeply while walking in the footsteps of the saints. Along the way, we will visit some of the most sacred sites of the Church, including places closely connected to our patron. Each day will be enriched by the grace of daily Mass, fostering spiritual growth, reflection, and community. We invite you to join us in this meaningful expression of who we are at SCA, as we journey together in faith, deepen our love for Christ, and celebrate the beauty of our Catholic identity.
