Our next exciting pilgrimage took place in Mexico City! We had the honor of welcoming Chris Stefanick and Jim Wahlberg as our hosts on this journey, along with Fr. Richard Sunwoo and Tyler Tracey.

Chris Stefanick is an internationally known author, speaker, and tv host who has dedicated his life to sharing Christ's love and encouraging others to do the same. He is the founder and President of Real Life Catholic--a non-profit with a mission to help Catholics live with purpose and joy. Jim Wahlberg serves as the executive director of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation—whose mission is to improve the lives of inner-city youth through a working partnership with other youth organizations. Jim is a producer, writer, and director of films, utilizing his talents to bring people to Jesus and raise awareness about opioid addiction, pointing them to the hope found in Christ.

As with every pilgrimage, we are blessed to encounter Our Lady and the Lord in various ways throughout our travels...and for this trip in particular, through Our Lady of Guadalupe! Saint Juan Diego's Tilma is a beautiful and holy sight to see, especially up close. You will also notice photos/videos from the Metropolitan Cathedral, churches in Tlaxcala and Puebla, and the Pyramids of Teotihuacan. We also had a wonderful time in fellowship with our faith community, and had the incredible opportunity to learn more about this pilgrimage through Chris Stefanick's and Jim Wahlberg's perspectives.

We had a wonderful pilgrimage with Father Pedro Nunez—traveling to Istanbul, Greece, and Medjugorje!

Here are some photos from some of the areas we visited throughout the journey. Our travels also included an amazing 5-night cruise from Istanbul to Athens! We enjoyed wonderful meals, formed a deeper spiritual relationship with the Lord, and engaged with our faith community in song and dance (one of our pilgrims even put on a small guitar show for us!).

In the spirit of Chaucer’s journey, Canterbury Pilgrimages brings men and women of all ages together to experience the deepening of faith made possible by an authentically Catholic pilgrimage.

We thank our pilgrims for embarking on another memorable journey with us! Another pilgrimage filled with smiles, friendships, and a faith-filled connection with God. Christ be with you!

Our next step in our journey included Lourdes! Here are some photos from the Sanctuary and St. Bernadette’s home. The candlelight procession was a beautiful night of prayer too. We also took a fun photo from our flight!

Today, the Church honors St. Catherine of Siena (April 29)

St. Catherine of Siena (1347–1380), mystic, theologian, and Doctor of the Church, embraced a life of profound union with Christ from an early age. She played a decisive role in the return of the papacy to Rome, tirelessly served the poor, and wrote some of the most beautiful spiritual works in Church history.

On a pilgrimage to Italy, you could:

Visit Siena: Including St. Catherine’s birthplace, preserved as a sanctuary of prayer. Venerate her relics at the Basilica of San Domenico, where her head and thumb are enshrined. Pray at the Basilica of St. Francis, home to the Eucharistic Miracle of Siena, where consecrated hosts have remained miraculously intact since the 18th century.

Visit Rome: Honor St. Catherine at Santa Maria sopra Minerva, where her body is entombed beneath the main altar.

Pilgrims may also enjoy the nearby beauty of and Catholic heritage present at San Gimignano and Florence, along with timeless treasures of Rome, adding depth to their spiritual journey.

St. Isidore of Seville, depicted by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1655), was an influential scholar-bishop whose life and writings continue to inspire the faithful.

St. Isidore of Seville (c. 560–636) dedicated his life to both shepherding the Church and preserving knowledge. As Archbishop of Seville in the early 7th century, he guided the Spanish Church through a time of renewal, even presiding over major councils that strengthened doctrinal unity in the Visigothic kingdom. Renowned for his scholarship, he compiled the Etymologiae – an encyclopedic compendium of human and divine subjects that remained a key reference for centuries. For his extraordinary contributions, St. Isidore was officially canonized in 1598 and later proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1722. Today, on his feast day, we honor his legacy of faith and learning which has profoundly shaped Catholic heritage in Spain.

On this Feast of St. Isidore of Seville, we invite you to embark on a journey of faith in his honor. Such a pilgrimage to Spain can enrich the spiritual life of your flock, deepen their understanding of Church history, and strengthen the bonds of Christian fellowship.

We encourage you to contact us to begin planning your pilgrimage!

Here at Canterbury Pilgrimages, our very name was inspired by one of history’s most famous journeys of faith—the pilgrimage from London to Canterbury, immortalized by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century.

In that same spirit of faith-filled adventure, and as we find ourselves now in the season of Lent, we invite you to consider leading a Lenten pilgrimage. For centuries, Catholics have marked this holy season with journeys to sacred places, deepening their faith and preparing for the joy of Easter.

Lenten pilgrimages have deep roots in Christian history. By the late 4th century, Christian travelers like the nun Egeria documented the profound Holy Week observances in Jerusalem, where believers gathered at the sacred sites of Christ’s Passion for solemn processions, prayers, and liturgies. These early accounts hint at what would soon become a widespread tradition—pilgrims journeying to the Holy Land to retrace Christ’s steps, especially during Lent and Holy Week. Even in those early centuries, Christians longed to walk the Via Dolorosa, venerate the Cross, and worship at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, uniting their personal sacrifices with Christ’s.

Why not lead your own pilgrimage? We specialize in organizing unforgettable faith journeys, handling every detail so you can focus on guiding your group through a life-changing experience. Let’s continue the sacred tradition of Lenten pilgrimage together—will you join us?

Our Diocese of Tucson group joined thousands of faithful in a powerful procession through the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, embracing the grace and renewal of this Jubilee Year. Stepping through the Holy Door is a reminder of Christ’s mercy and our journey of faith!
