More than sightseeing; more than simply a tour, our pilgrimages are journeys of faith.

For over a decade, whether traveling the Polish homeland of Saints JPII, Faustina, Maximilian Kolbe… meditating upon the lush Irish vistas where St. Patrick preached… sailing on the Sea of Galilee… walking the Way of the Cross in Jerusalem… praying in St. Thomas More’s cell in London…joining thousands on evening procession in Fatima…gathering in St. Peter’s Square for a papal audience… exploring St. Damien’s Molokai where he ministered to lepers… recalling St. Paul’s preaching at the Areopagus and throughout Greece …reflecting on the Book of Revelations in St. John’s cave on the island of Patmos … or encountering Our Lord most profoundly in Mass at His tomb, our pilgrimages have offered travel that touches the soul! Guided by the spiritual leadership of gifted priests and the Community of St. John Religious Brothers and Sisters, we venture out in the footsteps of saints, amidst the historical and cultural experiences each pilgrimage provides and cannot help but be inspired to grow in our faith and love of Christ and others along the way. Wish to be part of something profound?

Offering Europe’s greatest Marian Shrines, Fatima to Lourdes, with sites of great saints in between, this pilgrimage led by Fr. Nathan Cromly will inspire all to “Dare Great Things for Christ,” amidst the adventure, culture, camaraderie, devotions a St. John Institute experience ensures.  Begin your Pilgrimage in Lisbon where you will learn about the life of St. Anthony of Padua. Experience the powerful messages of Our Lady of Fatima as you visit the very place she appeared to the three shepherd children in 1917. This is where the famous Miracle of the Sun took place which was witnessed by thousands of people. Continue onto Spain where you will encounter the life of incredible Saints like St. Teresa of Avila. Conclude your spiritual journey in Lourdes. See where Our Lady appeared in the Grotto to St. Bernadette and wash in the miraculous water that has healed many pilgrims.
