Our Lady of Peace Academy Makes First Pilgrimage

Twenty-five teenage girls ages 14-18 from San Diego, California (USA) came to Le Puy April 7-10 with five chaperones to learn more about the origins of the Sisters of St. Joseph. They timed their visit to the Easter Triduum, which gave them a more intense experience of Church during its most important holy days. They attended the Way of the Cross on Good Friday and Easter Sunday Mass at 7 a.m. at the Cathedral, which was also the Mass for the pilgrims beginning their journey on the Camino of St. Jacques of Compostelle. Dr. Brandy Sato, the principal, accompanied the group with co- planner, Ryan Martin-Spencer, director of mission integration.
