Tekton Ministries - Encounter Christ on a Catholic Pilgrimage

Catholic pilgrimage since 1996. We help priests lead their parishes to encounter Christ and return home by a different way.

We seek to embrace the New Evangelization. We do this by helping people experience God in their lives through pilgrimages, promoting our sacred Christian heritage through our Public Relations work for the Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land and other non-profits, evangelizing through the development of Catholic Media, and spreading our faith through catechesis and Catholic books and resources. Since 1999, Tekton Ministries has successfully managed the Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land (FFHL), and is well-positioned to do the same for your organization.

Today is the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Father, you carry your people's griefs—at gravesides, in hospital rooms, in the confessional. Mary stood at the foot of the Cross and carried them first.

Priests tell us that at Lourdes and Fatima, something in them finally rests. The shepherd is allowed, for a few days, to be a son—and to hand his parish's sorrows to the Mother who understands them all.

She is waiting for you too, Father: tektonministries.org

Today is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Seventeen centuries ago, St. Helena found the True Cross in Jerusalem. Today, pilgrims still climb the stairs to Calvary in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and place a hand where the Cross once stood.

Today is the Memorial of the Most Holy Name of Mary.

At Lourdes, at Fatima, at Guadalupe—her name is spoken in every language on earth, and it means the same thing in all of them: a mother who never stops interceding for her children.

Say her name today. She is listening.

And if you've ever felt her tug toward one of her shrines, that invitation has a name too: pilgrimage.

"Reflecting on the stories of Scripture at the places they happened. We went to so many beautiful Holy sites." — Diane O., Holdrege, NE

There is a moment on every Holy Land pilgrimage when the Gospel stops being a story you've heard and becomes a place you're standing. The Scriptures gain streets, stones, and sea air—and they never sound the same again.
Read the Word. Then walk it.

"Our guide was terrific: smart, knowledgeable, flexible, kind, adaptable, spiritual, articulate, respectful of pilgrims and priest-spiritual-director." — Rev. Robert W., Laurel Falls, OH

Father, on a Tekton pilgrimage you are never the logistics coordinator. You are the spiritual father. Our knowledgeable Catholic or Christian guides and your dedicated Pilgrimage Manager carry the practical load, so your hands are free for the sacraments and your heart is free for your people.

That's the difference thirty years of pilgrimage experience makes.

Calvary is not a legend. You can stand there.

Under one roof in Jerusalem's Old City, pilgrims climb the steps to Golgotha, kneel at the stone of the Crucifixion, and enter the empty tomb. Two thousand years of pilgrims have worn the stones smooth with their knees and their tears.

Our new article walks you through the Church of the Holy Sepulchre—what you'll see, what you'll touch, and how to pray in the holiest place on earth.

Before the Magi ever followed the star, they were watching the sky.

Preparation is where pilgrimage begins—and it is spiritual before it is logistical. This Labor Day, as summer winds down, try this: open a journal and write three to five intentions you will carry to the holy places. Name the people. Name the wounds. Name the hopes.

A tourist packs a suitcase. A pilgrim also packs a heart.

Today the Church remembers St. Teresa of Calcutta.

She rarely traveled for herself—yet she called every soul to a journey: "Do small things with great love." Pilgrimage teaches the same lesson. The holy sites do not ask you to become extraordinary. They ask you to come home and love the people at your own doorstep, extraordinarily well.

That's the test of every pilgrimage: not the photos you bring back, but the love you bring home.

"The experience has changed me in a way that is difficult to explain. I have told my friends and family that taking a pilgrimage is something everyone should do if they want to experience an increase in faith." — Emma P., Leeds, AL

The Magi saw the Christ Child and "returned to their country by a different way." Every true pilgrim knows why. You come home to the same house, the same job, the same pew—but you are not the same.

Today is the Memorial of St. Gregory the Great—pope, shepherd, servant of the servants of God.

In St. Peter's Basilica, his altar still receives pilgrim priests from every corner of the world. One of them told us:
"My favorite moment was offering Mass on the altar of Pope St. Gregory the Great in St. Peter's." — Fr. Sean D., Pawhuska,
OK Father, some graces are waiting for you at a particular altar. Rome keeps them well.
