specifically focused for Roman, Greek Orthodox, Maronite, and Byzantine Catholic Christians

We understand the specific needs of the Roman or Orthodox Catholic pilgrim. Our Joyful Catholic Journeys pilgrimages, tours, and cruises provide you with a knowledgeable local escort and guide, daily liturgies, excursions to significant Catholic sites, accommodations at quality hotels with transportation and all the amenities modern American travelers have come to expect. A Tour Manager will meet you in your destination and remain with you the entire time you are there. If you wish, we can provide a Tour Manager who accompanies with you from your point of US departure through to your return.

Your priest travels for free, and daily Masses are arranged. If you do not have a priest traveling with you, but a lay minister is the group’s spiritual leader, he or she will have the base cost of the trip waived, needing only to pay the taxes and fees. Daily para-liturgies can be arranged, as desired, when a lay minister is leading your group.

Many possibilities exist for the Catholic’s pilgrimage destination: Lourdes, Santiago, Medugorje, the Caribbean, Ireland, Poland, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Peru, the Phillipines, Korea, the Holy Lands, and of course, Italy, are among the many fascinating places one might travel to deepen one’s Catholic faith, awareness of the Church and her impact on world history,  and  grow in spirituality. Shrines abound throughout the world, including the United States. We know the best times and the best ways to get you there.

Let’s not forget World Youth Day, Canonization Events, Retreats, Youth Group Missions & Voluntours, and Music Ministry performance tours.

Best of all, we handle all the details for you, freeing you and your group to enjoy your pilgrimage, heritage tour, mission trip, or retreat. Let’s get started. Call us today! groups@joyfulcatholicjourneys.com
