Information Session on Wednesday, September 24, at 5:45 p.m. in FH105.


In May 2026, Covenant invites a group of pilgrims to journey to the Isle of Iona, off the Western Coast of Scotland, for a week of spiritual renewal, reflection, and prayer. Beginning in Edinburgh, we will make our way to Iona, where a rhythm of worship will pattern our days. We will explore Celtic Wisdom and the Iona Abbey, enjoy hikes amid a landscape that has been described as a “thin place,” and draw from the deep well of Iona’s intentional community. Pilgrims will have an opportunity to study John O’Donohue’s Anam Cara, to participate in a golf tournament, and to nurture relationships with both God and one another.
