Aquinas Institute President, Fr. Richard A. Peddicord, O.P., will lead a pilgrimage to France October 28 – November 5, 2008. Fluent in French, Father Peddicord looks forward to sharing his love and knowledge of France’s spiritual heritage with fellow pilgrims, and will celebrate Mass for the travel group throughout the trip.
