Marian Shrines
"Director of the tour was excellent. [Our tour manager] was compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable. She knew how much to talk and how much silence we needed to process what she was saying to us. She was attentive to the individuals within the group. Her labor to make the pilgrimage as smooth as possible was evident at all times."
Rev. John R.Pilgrim from Indianapolis, IN
Medjugorje
"All were very knowledgeable, pleasant, and seemed to have the interest of the pilgrims clearly in focus. I also appreciated their faith and commitment to making this a spiritual experience for us. Loved the way meals were prepared and served; promoting a 'family' atmosphere."

"Presiding at the Eucharist in the Loyola house where Ignatius recuperated from his wounds and began his conversion and transformation. Each of the shrines we visited had something special for each of us - certainly true for myself."
Fr. John R.Pilgrim from Indianapolis, IN

"We get caught up in the world's crazy deadlines, work, and family. This Pilgrimage gave me the opportunities and intentional time to reflect and pray and be thankful."
Christie F.Pilgrim from Gretna, NE
Turkey and Greece
"I think that passages of Scripture will be much more meaningful to me, of course. Even this morning, going back to the Book of Revelation...I knew exactly what John was talking about."
John F.Pilgrim from Memphis
Poland/Central Europe
"My favorite moment was seeing the image of Our Lady of Czestochowa for the first time! Hearing the trumpets “put her to bed” and “wake her up again” gave me goosebumps! My Mom is pure Polish, so I grew up hearing about The Black Madonna."

"Knowing that Richard and the other staff were praying for us back here in the States gave me a sense of safety and comfort. Although I had not direct contact with the US staff after Richard saw us off at the airport, I still felt the care given."
Fr. John R.Pilgrim from Indianapolis, IN
Santiago de Compostela
"Our tour guide for most of the trip in Spain was Amazing! She did an excellent job prepping us for each day of the trail. Always supported and encouraging! Loved her style of guiding and was very knowledgeable!"
Elizabeth O.Pilgrim from Cordova, TN
France
"The pilgrimage was fantastic, there is no way to experience so much without taking the trip through a tour service. I was absolutely amazed at how much we were able to see and do. The day we arrived we were quickly on our way to all the scheduled stops for day 2. Very impressed from the very start."
