A walking pilgrimage for campus ministry!

Saturday, March 29, 2025, 9 am – 4 pm
A walking pilgrimage to five historic downtown churches in celebration of the Centennial Celebration of the United Church of Canada!

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the United Church of Canada, to pray for unity and solidarity among our national and international communities, and to support the Ecumenical Chaplaincy at the University of Toronto (ECUT), we invite you to walk, learn, sing and pray in good company on Saturday, March 29th.

We will walk, roll, and move between United Church congregations and institutions in Toronto’s downtown core, stopping at each point to pray together and welcome new pilgrims. Join us for the whole day (9am – 4pm) or for part of the pilgrimage.

Some pilgrims will make a set donation, others will commit to fundraise towards the work of The Ecumenical Chaplaincy offering friendship, community, and spiritual support to the students, staff and faculty of the University of Toronto. We recommend people set a fundraising target of $100 to mark 100 years of the United Church, but any amount is welcome -$10, $25, $100, $200… the choice is yours!!
