Pilgrimage to Poland

June 17-27, 2026

“Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”—Luke 24:32

Join us on a sacred journey through Poland’s most treasured religious and cultural sites. Poland’s Catholic heritage is both rich and heroic. There are many saints who were Poles, including Pope John Paul II, Sister Faustina, Maximillian Kolbe, Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko and more. Through centuries of persecution and political upheaval, the Polish people have remained steadfast in their devotion. Today, Poland stands as one of the most vibrantly Catholic nations in Europe.

This heart-stirring pilgrimage invites you to walk in the footsteps of saints, explore UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, and deepen your faith in places of profound beauty and devotion.

A pilgrimage is a journey of faith; an ancient practice in the Church. It is an eternal investment which has an everlasting reward. Join us for this unique, customized pilgrimage opportunity to seek spiritual renewal, healing, and other extraordinary graces.
