Faith + Democracy Pilgrimage

JUNE 6-12, 2026

Youth currently in 6th grade on up are invited to join St. Timothy’s Faith and Democracy Pilgrimage to Philadelphia and New York in summer 2026. With next summer marking the semiquincentennial (250th anniversary) of the Declaration of Independence, it’s the perfect time to explore the rich history of these cities and the role they played in both the founding of the country and the origins of the Episcopal Church. As the youth prepare and undertake their pilgrimage, they will explore topics like the intersection of faith and civic life at the country’s founding and the role faith should play in a pluralistic democracy today.

Approximate Fees: $500 per youth, $1,000 per adult shepherd

If a youth would like to participate, but the fees are a barrier, please contact Kelli at formation@sttimothysiowa.org about the possibility of a scholarship.
