Pilgrimage in the Polish-American Religious Education Experience

Pilgrimage is a great way of examining faith on a communal and personal level and it already has a history and precedent in the Polish and Polish-American communities. This work questions whether or not pilgrimage can be used as an effective tool for an inter-generational faith formation program. Through the examination of pilgrimage scholarship, what it means to be a Polish-American, and the struggles that Polish parishes undergo, this work demonstrates that Polish-American parishes can re-vamp their faith formation programs and be better prepared to survive future changes.
