Call now to join one of our memorable GROUP PILGRIMAGES: THE LIFE & LEGACY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II, SEPT. 30 – OCT. 8, 2009 Rev. Stanley Konieczny, Chaplain An unforgettable nine days awaits you this Fall in Poland, seeing the places the beloved Pope always held close to his heart. We will visit his boyhood home, marvel at the modern capital of Warsaw restored from the ashes of World War II, and delight in the classic charms of the old capital of Krakow where he served as archbishop. We will walk in the footsteps of the Pope and the spiritual giants of the 20th century who inspired him: the martyred St. Maximilian Kolbe and the visionary St. Faustina Kowalska of the Divine Mercy devotion. In addition to an itinerary filled with inspirational sites, we will enjoy plenty of good food, good times, and traditional Polish hospitality. For pilgrimage details and pricing, see FEATURED GROUP TOURS page. ADVENT PILGRIMAGE DEC. 5-13, 2009 GERMANY, FRANCE, SWITZERLAND, NETHERLANDS Rev. John Myler, Chaplain A pilgrimage in December? Oh, yes -- for during Advent, we recall that we are a "pilgrim people." We travel on a "communal pilgrimage" in one another's company toward Christmas. Advent has always been a journey toward Bethlehem, and we will follow the course of the Rhine River from Amsterdam to Basel -- where many of our ancestors made their life's journey. In the towns and villages along the way, we will visit the beautiful cathedrals, magnificent castles, and world-renowned Christmas markets, while celebrating the season and making spiritual preparations to welcome with joy Christ, the new-born King. For pilgrimage details and pricing, see FEATURED GROUP TOURS page. |
