What's the Focus

​The focus of this pilgrimage is Patrick's story and your own spiritual formation. As we look into the influences that formed Patrick as a leader such as his context, family, trauma, calling, mentors, etc. you'll have the opportunity to reflect on how you have been formed spiritually.

We will also explore some of the factors behind Patrick's fruitfulness as a missionary to the Celtic people and how that might inform our engagement with culture today.

Happy People

T E S T I M O N I A L S

"Many thanks to Jon & Ammie Eastwood for curating this extraordinary pilgrimage into church history and The Kingdom. Pilgrimage is something we do with our bodies. It's embodied discipleship unto Jesus in a foreign land. It's a faith journey where one humbles themselves as a sojourner and exposes oneself to risks, dangers, joys and blessings with epic travel. And in the process one is deeply formed, reformed and transformed. It was a gift!" 

~Daniel 

The Way of Patrick is a pilgrimage full of history, tours, historical sites, beautiful landscapes, deep conversations, and quiet moments where you can experience the mission and life of a man who was obedient to his calling. I experienced God through nature and through the wonderful conversations with other pilgrims. If you need to disconnect from the everyday noise and are seeking to hear God's voice I highly recommend you pack your bags!
