One of the highlights of our Catholic Tours is the journey through the Holy Land. As you trace the life of Jesus, visiting sites like the Sea of Galilee, the Mount of Beatitudes, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, you feel a palpable connection to the past. These sacred sites, steeped in religious history, allow you to walk through the pages of the Bible, making the words of the Gospel come alive in a whole new way.
Experience the purity of Mary’s devotion and strength through our exclusive tours to Marian shrines.

These sacred places, visited by millions every year, will help you understand the significance of Mary’s role in the Catholic faith and her messages of love, prayer, and penance.
Our Catholic Tours also honor the saints, those virtuous individuals who led exemplary lives of faith, dedicated to God and humanity. Explore the quaint Italian town of Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, or venture to Avila in Spain, the land of Saint Teresa. These journeys offer a profound understanding of the saints’ lives and their inspiring messages, encouraging us to follow in their virtuous footsteps.
But our Catholic Tours are not just about exploring religious sites. They are about facilitating a deeper connection with God, understanding His teachings, and experiencing His love in every interaction. These tours, with their sermons, prayers, and sacraments, encourage spiritual growth, fostering a stronger bond with God.

There are many qualities which differentiate a Catholic pilgrimage from a secular tour. A pilgrimage can be the jumpstart, the glue or the culminating piece to a life alteration. At the conclusion of a pilgrimage, many Pilgrims attempt to pinpoint which aspect of their tour positively developed their prayer life, relationships at home, work life or other important facets of their daily routine. It is true that daily Mass, the guidance of a spiritual director, and the Holy site itself play a strong role in the conversion surrounding the pilgrimage, however, one aspect of a pilgrimage that is often left without reflection is the group dynamic.
At the time of registration many are apprehensive about the thought of group members; sharing a room, eating two meals per day together, attending most itinerary activities as a group, etc. However by the end of the pilgrimage, the group members become family. Why is this? How does a nine-year-old child survive with limited Wi-Fi, television, and other home luxuries for ten days? How do two Pilgrims from two completely different parts of the country connect and become life long friends? The answer is simple; it is their Faith in God.
Each 206 Tours Pilgrim is on a different path in their spiritual journey, but each of these is directed toward Our Heavenly Father. The conversations and relationships that develop on the tour are all Christ-centered. This is not to say that each exchange, day and night, are to discuss the life of Jesus. However, His life and His word are subconsciously present in the words and actions of each Pilgrim. Because each Pilgrim is at a different point of their Spiritual journey, each Pilgrim plays a vital role in the development of their fellow Pilgrim’s Spiritual conversion.
