TESTIMONIAL 

PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND

A group of 30 pilgrims set off from Montreal on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. At Zurich airport, while we waited for our flight to Tel-Aviv, Fr. Francis McKee led us in a short Morning Prayer to praise and worship with his guitar. How it must have pleased the heart of God to see His faithful openly dedicating their day to Him!

Our pilgrimage consisted of four nights in Nazareth and six nights in Jerusalem and for each of these focal points, we covered a good part of the country and its sacred sites. From Nazareth, the birthplace of Jesus, to Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, we went up and down the country where Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the apostles lived. One of the highlights of our pilgrimage was being able to celebrate daily Eucharist in special churches...

Fr. J. Bessert & Sr. C. Gretka invite you on pilgrimage

From June 15th until 24th, 2015

10 days & 8 nights

Let yourself be seduced by southern Poland and the former capital city of Krakow. Located along the Vistula, Krakow is defined as the cradle of Polish culture and as the hometown of Blessed John Paul II, a man of charismatic faith that has profoundly marked the history of Poland.

Gather in Czestochowa, the most important place of pilgrimage of Poland known for the miraculous icon of the Black Virgin; visit Wadowice, the birthplace of Karol Wajtyla (Pope John Paul II); breathe the fresh air of the Tatras (the Carpathians), these unique Polish mountains with an alpine character where Pope loved hiking and skiing. 

Other iconic figures also participated in the Christian influence of this country including Saint Faustina who offered her life for the salvation of the souls of sinners (Sanctuary of the Divine Mercy in Lagiewniki) and St. Maximilian Kolbe who in the Auschwitz camp, took the place of a father sentenced to death.

This exceptional pilgrimage is also the opportunity to visit prestigious landmarks such as the mines of salt of Wieliczka and the Tatras mountains.
