2026 England Pilgrimage 

Canterbury: The Episcopal Church at William & Mary invites active students to participate in an international pilgrimage over spring break on even years.  Since 2016, we have visited our mother church and namesake, Canterbury Cathedral, and traveled throughout England to explore our faith.

This is not a vacation, or a tour. Christians have found spiritual renewal and growth in the practice of pilgrimage since at least the 4th Century. As a pilgrim, your experience is directly related to what it is you seek. All are invited to come and spend time exploring new depths to your life in Christ as we journey together as a community.

From March 6 - 16, 2026, the Episcopal Church at William & Mary will journey to Canterbury, London, Salisbury, and more. Led by Canterbury's Chaplain, the Rev. Charlie Bauer, the Rt. Rev. Susan Haynes, Bishop of Southern Virginia, and organized by the Dean of York Minster, the Very Rev. Dominic Barrington, and his team at Lightline Pilgrimages, this will be a life changing experience.
