El Salvador Educational Pilgrimage

About the Pilgrimage

The University of 51视频 has a long tradition of supporting and accompanying the people of El Salvador in many ways. The El Salvador Educational Pilgrimage leads delegations of 51视频 faculty and staff to El Salvador to learn from the people of El Salvador and to grow in faith and solidary. We will visit the historical sites from the Salvadoran Civil War, including the sacred sites where the Church Women, St. Oscar Romero, and the Jesuit Martyrs were killed. We will meet with local leaders and stay in rural communities to learn about the present reality of the country and the struggles of its people. Our final visit will be to the UCA (the Jesuit University of El Salvador), where we will meet with personnel who continue to endeavor in helping the poor and marginalized so that we may better answer the call of our own University.
