More Than a Tour
Have you ever imagined walking the very paths that Jesus and his disciples travelled? Kneeling at the traditional birthplace of Christ in Bethlehem … Sailing on the Sea of Galilee … Renewing your baptism in the River Jordan … Praying in the Garden of Gethsemane … Experiencing the power of resurrection at the site of the empty tomb?
A St. George’s College pilgrimage invites you to journey through the places where scripture comes to life. Combining rigorous scholarship with opportunities for deep spiritual encounter and worship, our pilgrimages offer an unforgettable journey of learning, prayer, and spiritual renewal.

In the Words of Our Pilgrims
“This was so much more than visiting the places I had read about. Scripture, worship and community came together in a way I will carry with me.”
