Pilgrimage to Transylvania- April 2018
The Partner Congregation Committee (PCC) and Rev. Amy Freedman, Minister of
Religious Education, are excited to announce that, in collaboration with our
partner congregation in Székelykeresztúr, next April 2018 is the best time for
our multigenerational pilgrimage to Transylvania. The dates are during the
school vacation leaving either Thursday or Friday, April 12 or 13 and returning
on Monday, April 23, 2018. The cost will be $1800-2200 per person (largely
driven by airfares) and we will have the details by fall. This pilgrimage is
open to all, individuals and families alike. Scholarship assistance is
available by contacting Amy. A $200 per person or $500 per family deposit is
due by June 30, 2017. Please make checks payable to First Parish in
Concord, Memo: Family Pilgrimage and mail to First Parish in Concord, 20
Lexington Road, Concord, MA 01742 Attn: Family Pilgrimage. Scholarship
assistance is available. If you are interested or have questions, contact Amy: afre...@Firstparish.org
