Pilgrimage to Early Franciscan Missions with Fr. Tom Smith, OFM Conv.

This pilgrimage will provide time to visit and experience the missions mainly along the Camino Real, the road which followed the Rio Grande.  There will be time for background, input by local people, mass and prayer each day, and for quiet as well as exploring local culture and art.  We expect to visit several missions, such as Española, Taos, Acoma, Ysleta, San Felipe in Albuquerque, and Socorro.  We will select a hotel in Santa Fe and I expect to have reservations at the Norbertine Retreat Center in Albuquerque.  Each person or couple would need to pay your own lodging, meals, and perhaps an entrance fee.  We ask a contribution of at least $100.00 per person if possible for Holy Cross Retreat Center to support our ministry and guidance during the pilgrimage. We will carpool to save costs.  You can view the brochure Pilgrimage early Franciscan Missions .
