Hello all,
If you have had a good experience travelling as part of a group pilgrimage, I would be interested in learning the details of your trip (i.e, travel guide & travel company, destination, etc.).

I’m live in the U.S. and I’m open either to staying in the U.S. or travelling abroad.

Thanks & regards.
 
US National Rosary Pilgrimage to Lourdes. Beautiful trip focused on bringing the sick and handicapped to Lourdes. I went after graduating college for the 150th Anniversary of the apparitions and I reflect on it often. I know I will be back in 2013, although 2012 is the Year of the Rosary, so there will most certainly be something extra-special.

To put this trip in perspective, my father went with my mother in the mid-90s. He was raised Catholic but was never confirmed because his family stopped going to Church. When dating my mother, he began going to Church but lacked a certain ‘zeal’ to his beliefs. My brother and then myself were confirmed and still, after 18 years of marriage, my father didn’t have the desire to be confirmed. That year, my parents went to Lourdes and thereafter, my father decided it was time to join RCIA and receive the final sacrament of initiation. Since then, he has been a pillar of faith, and it is because something happens in Lourdes. There have been 67 confirmed miraculous healings, but the spiritual healing is seemingly infinite.

Many people on this forum have gone on pilgrimage with Steve Ray and his wife and have had a wonderful time (To the Holy Land)

I myself have been to the Holy Land, through a church pilgrimage, and it was a life-changing experience. I thoroughly recommend it.

I’m going to Rome on my own in less than a week (but it’s my second time)

Blessings
and good pilgrimage!
 
If a pilgrimage to EWTN sounds like something you would enjoy then I recommend that. They have daily mass in the chapel, tours of the network, live shows and a gift shop. You could also visit The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, AL. It’s really nice there too, and also visit The Grotto while here.

Thanks very much to all for your suggestions. I appreciate it!
