A Walk to Remember: The Class of 2026 Celebrates Tradition and Spiritual Growth
On September 20, Eastside Catholic School’s Class of 2026 participated in Senior Pilgrimage, a cherished tradition dating back to 1982. This 10-mile, day-long journey offers seniors a unique opportunity to reflect on their personal and spiritual growth as they prepare to enter their final year of high school.
Led by students, the pilgrimage featured moments of prayer, meaningful conversations, shared meals and quiet reflection. The experience encouraged seniors to look back on their time at EC, embrace the present and step forward into the future with faith and purpose.
The Senior Pilgrimage remains a powerful rite of passage at Eastside Catholic, strengthening bonds and deepening the sense of community among students. View more photos from the day on our Facebook page.
