Pilgrim Fellowship
St. George Parish
Pilgrim Fellowship is a community service group based in my hometown of Guilford. I am lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to travel to three different U.S. states during my high school spring breaks to attempt at making a difference for those residing within such struggling communities.
​
Trips:
Gary, West Virginia - April '12
Johnstown, PA - April '13
Mountaintop, TN - April '14
​
Some of our projects consisted of paint jobs, building wooden ramps for a handicapped family, tiling kitchen floors, demolishing, building decks, digging trenches, etc.

I was a peer minister for St. George Church in Guilford, CT for my last two years of high school. The parish alternates between pilgrimages to Italy and Haiti every other year. I knew I had plans to study abroad later in my college career and absolutely couldn't pass up an opportunity to travel to Port-au-Prince, Haiti during my final summer before heading off to college. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I got to share with some of my best friends - I am forever thankful for having been able to do this.
​
Some of the activities we participated in were visiting children's hospitals, AIDS orphanages, several elementary schools, sustainable farms, educational centers, refugee camps, etc.
