Not for the Faint of Heart
Designed to challenge the body and feed the soul, Eagle Eye Ministries Excursions will bring you face to face with the unfiltered majesty of the King of Kings. The splendor of the Catholic faith is on full display as Fr. Nathan, his Brothers and Sisters, and COR Expeditions guide you through some of the most beautiful – and the most demanding – hikes in the world.
Bow before Christ in Adoration atop the Rockies. Kneel on orange stone as you receive the Bread of Heaven in a desert canyon. Feel the Holy Spirit stir within you as the Salve is intoned in the winter night.
Let EEM Excursions be the next step on your journey toward sainthood.
San Diego Desert Excursion
This long weekend is an Eagle Eye favorite. It will be ordered around times of silence, adoration, chanted Offices, Mass in God’s great wilderness, and spiritual talks. Get to know other Catholic young adults in the community while hiking and spending time together under the starry night sky. This backpacking group will hike to a remote location and spend 2 nights. This group requires the ability to sustain moderate all-day hikes.
