Encounter Pilgrimages
Our pilgrimages are designed to transform every participant into a missionary disciple and “kick-start” evangelization in your parish. We will help craft talks that provide a “formative thread” for the journey which draws from the examples of the saints and inspiration from the holy places we visit. We concentrate on helping translate the experience into practical application when we return home.
Particularly unique to our pilgrimage experiences, we work to include encounters with members of the local Church and, through this encounter, encourage each other in the Faith. We also love to include prayer experiences at lesser-known sites of Catholic treasures such as hidden chapels containing masterpieces of art and relics of saints.
Overall, our pilgrimages seek to strike a balance between prayer, formation and free time that will leave participants feeling moved, fulfilled, rested, and transformed.
The itinerary and destinations are all customizable to your desires.
Locations:
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico City
Rome, Assisi, Amalfi, Italy
Our Lady of Fátima, Portugal
Shrine of Divine Mercy, Krakow, Poland
Camino de Santiago, Spain
We have a broad range of contacts around the globe and can accommodate other pilgrimage destinations upon request.

Encounter, through the mystery of intentional travel, will bring you closer to the core of the glory of God, closer to being man and woman fully alive. Their team will guide you into incarnational experiences with the formation of the person and the dignity of the human being at heart. Let Encounter Travel show you the world through God's eyes.
