COME WITH US INTO THE HEART OF THE CHURCH

and life of the Church – is the focus of our unique pilgrimages. Join us as we encounter the “living stones” that build up the universal Church.
Virtual Essential Journeys
Experience some of the most spiritual places in the world without having to leave your living room. We have created “another way” to seek the Face of Christ while on pilgrimage. We will travel around the universal Church, visiting beautiful and spiritually significant places, and meeting the “living stones, ” the faithful souls we encounter there, via the internet.
