Pilgrimages

"Our venture into organizing pilgrimages all began many years ago. As with any trip my focus and drive was to experience something new. In this particular case it was also to deepen my faith. Yet my first trip to the Holy Land turned out to be much more – it was a life changing experience. I returned home a different person, unable for weeks to adjust back to my life. 

Recognizing the fruits of my pilgrimage, a new passion was born. Over the past 13 years Classic Travel has organized more than 50 pilgrimages servicing dozens of parishes and hundreds of pilgrims. This passion is rooted in my hope that each pilgrim will have a similar experience to mine. It is rooted in my faith and in my enthusiasm for giving others a life changing experience. For these reasons we undertake each pilgrimage with a responsibility to give our pilgrims nothing short of the best."

Our offer for your Parish

Classic Travel will gladly work with you in preparing a pilgrimage for your parish. You may choose to add or remove from any one of our programs, combine multiple pilgrimages into one, or even work with us to create a completely new tour.   

When hosting a pilgrimage we will keep the participation exclusive to your parish. If you would like to go on a pilgrimage but lack sufficient participation, we will open it up to the public and assist you in filling the trip.

For all our pilgrimages the priest or spiritual guide travels free. Classic Travel can help organize a fundraiser for the pilgrimage so that each participant joining will directly benefit the parish, organization, a certain project or charity. We’ll be happy to discuss any other arrangements that better suit your needs.  We also offer complimentary service in getting the word out to your parish, such as creating & distributing flyers and hosting info sessions & orientations.
