Harvest Journeys recently hosted the WYD Seoul 2027 Familiarisation Tour for Australian group leaders who’ll be bringing their pilgrims to World Youth Day with us. 🇰🇷

A famil is one of the most important steps in preparing for a pilgrimage of this scale. Seeing the city first-hand, understanding the logistics and hearing directly from the people running the event makes all the difference when it comes to planning for groups of young people to attend this life-changing event.

For this famil, we arranged meetings with the WYD organising office and DFAT, explored Seoul and some of the key sites, viewed potential hotel, and took time to visit the DMZ to understand the important context and history for this WYD. Our leaders also explored Seoul’s culture and the story of Korea’s martyr Church, and some continued on with a Japan extension.

After more than a year of preparation, it was a valuable week of conversations, site visits and practical detail, and our leaders came home with a much clearer picture of what to expect in 2027.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to all who welcomed us in Seoul. 🙏

Happy Feast of Saint John Paul II! 🙏🇵🇱

Today we celebrate one of the greatest saints of modern times. Born into humble beginnings in Wadowice, Poland, Karol Wojtyła became a spiritual giant who stood firm against Communism and the other great evils of the 20th century.

He had a deep devotion to Divine Mercy and to Our Lady of Częstochowa, and our Pilgrimage of Mercy walks in his footsteps to pray before the original holy images of both. It's an inspiring journey into the heart of Catholicism in Eastern Europe, and you're invited to join us in June 2027!

What do you bring home from a pilgrimage?

Beyond the souvenirs and photos, we bring home renewed faith, lasting friendships, unforgettable memories and countless graces.

And perhaps a few extra rosaries for family and friends!

Congratulations to our founder and chairman, Philip Ryall, recently recognised with one of the highest honours at the 2026 Australian Christian Business Awards!

This recognition is a fitting tribute to decades of faithful work in his various ministries begun over 40 years ago in founding Harvest Journeys as a young man. During this time, Philip has pioneered true encounters of grace for tens of thousands of Australian pilgrims whose faith has been renewed as they walk in the footsteps of Jesus and the saints while discovering, with fellow believers, the beauty and history of the Church across the world.

But his vision doesn’t stop there. Through the launch of his new book Dear Unity and more recently the One Sydney concert spectacular at the Sydney Opera House, Philip continues to work tirelessly to bring Christians together in a spirit of unity, prayer and shared mission right here in Australia and across the globe.

Philip, thank you for your leadership, your generosity and your unwavering commitment to building up the Church. The whole Harvest family is proud and grateful for your bold pursuit of God’s call on your life.

Today we celebrate the feast of St Teresa of Ávila! 🌹🙏 A woman of extraordinary faith, courage and prayer, St Teresa continues to inspire us nearly 500 years later. As a Doctor of the Church and reformer of the Carmelite Order, her life reminds us that holiness begins with a deep and personal friendship with God.

On our Mary and the Saints pilgrimage, we have the privilege of walking in her footsteps through Ávila, Spain, visiting the Monastery of the Incarnation, where she spent many years of her religious life, and discovering the sacred places that shaped her remarkable spiritual journey.

As we honour this great saint today, we look back on some special moments shared by our pilgrims in Ávila and Alba de Tormes, where you can visit her cell and the place where her incorrupt heart and arm are preserved.

St Teresa of Ávila, pray for us! 🙏

Our pilgrims from Texas have been exploring the spiritual treasures of Italy on their Eucharistic Miracles of Italy Pilgrimage, accompanied by Fr Peter Whitfield and Deacon John Waedekin.

From the peaceful streets of Assisi, where we walked in the footsteps of St Francis and visited the tomb of St Carlo Acutis, to the magnificent Cathedral of Orvieto and the historic city of Siena, each day has brought us opportunities for prayer, fellowship and a deeper appreciation of our Catholic faith.

Along the way, we’ve shared beautiful moments of friendship, celebrated Mass and encountered the rich spiritual heritage of these sacred places.

May the graces of this pilgrimage continue to inspire and strengthen our faith!

What a beautiful journey of faith, friendship and discovery, accompanied by Fr Patrick Vaughan. From Rome and an unforgettable encounter with Pope Leo XIV, to the sacred places associated with St Benedict, St Padre Pio, St Michael the Archangel, St Francis, St Clare and St Anthony, our pilgrims followed in the footsteps of some of the Church’s great saints.

Along the way, we celebrated Mass in extraordinary places, prayed before treasured relics, visited the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, journeyed through Assisi, Siena, Florence and Padua, and finished our pilgrimage in the beautiful city of Venice.

We give thanks for all the graces received, the friendships formed and the memories our pilgrims now carry home with them. May the witness of the saints continue to inspire their journey of faith.
