Pilgrimage Hike to Our Lady of the Rockies
Join Carroll College Campus Ministry and students from the University of Providence for a pilgrimage hike to Our Lady of the Rockies in Butte on Saturday, October 11.
Pilgrimage is an ancient Christian practice—traveling prayerfully with others to a sacred site helps us grow in faith and fellowship. Together, we’ll hike the east ridge trail (approx. 2,000 ft. vertical gain), pray the rosary and Stations of the Cross, and hear from men who helped build this inspiring statue of Mary.
