"Let us not forget: we are a pilgrim church, subject to misunderstanding, to persecution, but a church that walks serene, because it bears the force of love.” - Oscar Romero

Pilgrimage is the dedicated annual documentary journal of St. Stephen’s University. The journal is SSU's annual celebration of the various waypoints and steps along our pilgrimage together in the last year and includes student papers, faculty reflections, prose and poetry, art and photography at the intersection of theology, peace and reconciliation. The journal also features SSU's annual report, providing relevant numbers and statistical information, a budget overview, and an outline of accomplishments from the past year with our goals for the year ahead.
As you imbibe the reflections, information, and other expressions in this journal, we hope that our readers and the broader SSU community will be encouraged about the terrain that we've traversed so far and become energized by the anticipated pilgrimage path ahead of us.

St. Stephen’s University is located on the homeland of the Peskotomuhkati (Passamaquoddy) people. We are grateful for their welcome and friendship, and we are always seeking ways in which we can develop our relationship in mutually respectful ways, including our conversations with Chief Hugh Akagi and others about our Reconciliation Studies program. It is a privilege that we are able to locate some of our program on the Peskotomuhkati Nation’s Camp Chiputneticook (15 minutes north of St. Stephen’s University).
We respect the intentions of the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, while acknowledging the many ways in which governments and others have failed to honour their part of those agreements. It is our desire to live up to the responsibility of being “treaty relatives.”
