Join us on the
2020 Wyoming Expedition
Join ranks with other men for camaraderie, exploration, prayer, silence and learning while on pilgrimage through the Gospel of Creation. You'll return renewed and energized to your family and daily responsibilities.
Join us for on a four-day, three-night adventure pilgrimage. The Cirque of the Towers is known as one of the most beautiful and picturesque high alpine locations in the lower 48, known for over 10 towering peaks all in one cirque. This trip will be hiking through the cirque and traveling from the east side to the west of the infamous Wind River range, over the continental divide.
We will also be exploring a cave, praying the Liturgy of the Hours, the Rosary and the Stations. Celebrating the Mass, sharing testimonies and stories, feasting together on food and the natural beauty of God's creation.
Our days will be built around Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, Rosary, spiritual exercises, reflection on scripture & creation, and faith sharing.
Men interested in and willing to become part of a brotherhood striving after virtue and sent on perpetual mission. In other words, this is not a stand alone vacation, we will be forging bonds with God and neighbor during the week and those are not to be squandered but purposefully nurtured after the time of pilgrimage draws to a close.
Because we will be in a remote wilderness area pilgrims need to be in good physical shape for this expedition pilgrimage. Jogging a 9-minute mile is a goal to shoot for regarding cardio health and the capability to hike 5 miles with a 30 pound pack in under 2 hours by the end of July. The expedition will have us on our feet all day with a weighted pack, at high altitude, exposed to the elements and sore from sleeping on the ground (in tents with mats albeit). As a team, we need to have our eyes open to these realities going into this challenge.
"O send forth your light and your truth; let these be my guide. Let them bring me to your holy mountain to the place where you dwell."
