VTS Pilgrimages

VTS Pilgrimages have long been part of Virginia Theological Seminary. We have always been about going into the world: “Go Ye Into All The World And Preach The Gospel” was over the altar in our 1881 Chapel and is now over the baptismal font of the 2015 Chapel. 

VTS Pilgrimages invite us to leave the familiar. On a journey, as we go deeper and deeper into the world, we also go deeper and deeper into ourselves. Take the risk of leaving home and meeting new friends. Please join us on one of our life-mending pilgrimages which tend to the body and the soul.
