God Walk Mission Pilgrimage

The Youth Group is going on a holy adventure into the heart of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ! We'll be making a pilgrimage on food (and ferry) from Mission San Rafael to Mission Dolores (San Francisco De Asis). On the way we'll be vising other important shrines in SF, and doing service work with the St. Vincent DePaul Society, among other things

We will be spending the evenings at St. Dominic's Catholic Church the first night, and the second night we will spend at Mission Dolores itself. For more information, including a permission form and itinereary call Perrin Brady at (415) 897-2171 x277, or e-mail: youthministry@ollnovato.org

Participants will need to coordinate their own transportation to Mission San Rafael on Friday, and from Mission Dolores on Sunday.

In Regards to Safety:
- The coordinator will be walking the route on foot prior to the event to reasure the safty of the route.
- There will be both male and female chaperones, at least two of each, and boys and girls will sleep in separate rooms and likely in separat buildings in one complex.
- There will be a support vehicle following us along the route the entire time in case any need for a vehicle arrises. The support vehicle will be carrying most of the lugage for those participating, making it easier to walk the distance.
- The coordinator who will be walking with the group will be carrying a first aid kit; there will also be one in the support vehicle.
- The second night, at mission dolores, we will be ariving at the mission around 5 pm and staying in for the evening until we wake up for mass the next day.
- Participants will be allowed to carry cell phones with them, and adult leaders will ask for all cell phone numbers in the interest of safety.
