CALIFORNIA PILGRIMAGE 2027
Let January be Golden
A 5-day pilgrimage winding up the California coast, starting in San Diego and ending in Los Angeles. Let the Liturgy of the Hours shape your winter days and guide your new year.

Pray, sing, participate in the Sacraments, travel in a private coach, rest in hand-selected hotels, and share unhurried meals and local wine in the golden light of a Southern California January. When the rest of the country is buried in winter, come sing the Hours where the missions began. singthehours.org/pilgrimage
