Pilgrim Comments

I thought the coordination of this particular pilgrimage was just superb. From beginning to end, very detailed and informative and always looking after the welfare of each and every pilgrim at all times. Candy and Bob were just wonderful.

Steve and I had a wonderful pilgrimage to Mexico and are very grateful to you for organizing everything, ensuring a truly memorable visit that has brought us a deeper love for God and His most awesome mother.

We were struck by the special people of Mexico and could not have experienced this great adventure without your help.

The underlying peace of Medjugorje is so comforting. We enjoyed the sights of the holy places (Apparition Hill) and the people. It was inspirational for me to see the depth of faith of the Bosnian people. Most Catholics are so afraid to show thier faith and it was nice to see people being so reverent and prayerfully---naturally and unconcsiously. The faith is a part of their very being--we should all strive for that.

My fellow pilgrims and I became a family. We all felt the graces surrounding us and the love of God and Mary. We shared that our confessions were life-changing in that we felt truly loved and forgiven for all our transgressions. I experienced the universal Church and could not stop smiling. True happiness!!!

The entire trip was more than I had anticipated it would be and was well worth the 8-year wait.

The pilgrimage was full of graces and real blessings. Father John, our spiritual director, was a blessing to us. He is a holy priest. My most unfogettable experience was climbing Croagh Patrick mountain of 2510 feet high. I learned on this journey to the top of the mountain to trust God and not be afraid of whatever we struggle with in our daily lives. Thank you for doing such a good job.

When I say the Rosary now I can see the places in my mind and really meditate on the events of the life of Jesus. In the past my mind would wander or be focused on more on who I was praying for or my own troubles. The Mass and the Bible have come alive for me. I have actually started reading the Bible more. I would like to go back for another visit. I hope my family can go sometime. This has been a life-changing experience--thank you.

I had never heard of Father Peyton until we went to the center. Thanks for introducing me to a great man and a great cause. Really inspirational!

I'm not good with crowds and I thought we visited every place at the optimum time. Knock was fantastic and really touched my heart.

My hat is off to the folks who made it up the mountain. I actually got to go in the chapel at the top. I was told it is never open so I think Saint Patrick and my guardian angel had it all set up for me.

Everyone I talked to had a great time and Fr. Robert sure had great things to say about the guide, Nabil. All those folks who did not go because they were scared for their safety now are saying that they wish they would have gone. They needed to trust in the Lord--I told them the airlines and the Israeli government wouldn't let them go if things were bad. God bless you for such an A-plus trip....sounds like new stuff since I was there 25 years ago... the tunnel at the wailing wall and the Shroud exhibit at Notre Dame. Here is our group in front of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Peace be with you,

Thank you for such a WONDERFUL Pilgrimage to Ireland! I had such a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone. I still smile when I think of the trip. You did a great job planning out our trip. I loved having Fr. John Conway as our Spiritual Director. He is such a holy and humble Priest.

Take Care and keep in touch! Thank you again and God Bless!

Fondly,

Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our trip to Ireland. As usual everything about the trip was excellent. The airline connections were great, the hotels and meals were excellent. During the short pilgrimage we did and saw more than I ever expected. You put together a wonderful pilgrimage. We have really enjoyed the three pilgrimages you have put together for us. We are looking forward to many more trips. We have definitely gotten our money's worth on each and every trip. Keep up the good work!

God Bless, Tom & Lee, North Carolina
