This Pilgrimage was AMAZING!! Libby did an outstanding job with her great organizational skills to provide us with a trip that was inspirational and fun. The churches, Basilica, The Trappist Monastery and St Rose Priory were beautiful plus so full of history as were the four distilleries that we visited. Thank you Libby

It was an amazing five day pilgrimage. Rates at the top of my most fun trips. It mixed interesting and little known Catholic history, the viewing and participating in Holy Mass at inspiring, beautiful churches as well as the engaging story of the Bourbon Trail. The Ark Experience was also included and quite interesting but due to time constraints, more of a teaser for a future and more extensive visit. Fr. DiTomo, Dcn. Jim and Dcn. Hank were outstanding traveling companions as well as our fearless leader and organizer, Libby, and an amazing bus driver, Dave, who outdid himself in competence and helpfulness. Definitely a five star experience!

It was more than I expected. The people were really nice. It was a good combination of religious spiritual experiences and fun things like Niagara Falls and the Norman Rockwell Museum. We had excellent transportation, hotel rooms, food and weather. I liked it so much. I am planning on signing up for the pilgrimage to Italy. If they were doing the Niagara Falls pilgrimage again next year, I would plan to go. Thank you for this great trip!

Very enjoyable trip. Especially appreciated the Church of the Holy Family & the Shrine of St Cabrini. It was good to see the Guadalupe shrine & the Chicago Christmas bazaar, but the weather made them less preferable. Of course, Fr Jerome’s teachings are the highlight of the trip. Also, loved the restaurant — food & atmosphere, plus Father’s historical context. Bus & driver are excellent. Driver had a long, hard day, but rose to the challenge, maintaining a cheerful disposition. And, of course, our “ Shepherdess”, Libby, is a gem ❤️!

My husband and I haven’t traveled much since before the pandemic, but this 5-day pilgrimage was just irresistible. So, with some trepidation, we signed up. I needn’t have worried. The tour was so well organized and complete. The planners at Cor Jesu and WeTravel thought of everything. The tours of the holy sites were wonderful. I have not felt connected to my faith in this way for many years. It was such a privilege to attend Mass in these holy, historically significant sites. We prayed together on the bus. We made new friends. We really enjoyed the fun distillery tours and bourbon tastings. People in Kentucky are just so nice! We felt completely supported from the time the motor coach picked us up at our church and delivered us back to our church five days later. It was an experience I will never forget.

Beautiful experience! The Carmelite Shrine and Passion of Christ Shrine met more than our expectations! Father Jerome is always a delight to have along! His inspiration, humor, care, and guidance spiritually are such assets! Food was delicious, too! Bus driver was very helpful and accommodating! Thanks so much!

The trip was amazing. We were immersed in the Church’s history, prayer, and fellowship with each other. Libby’s timing of events was great. We had group time and free time. Staying in the Convents added to the experience.

This was the pilgrimage of a lifetime for us! From assistance with planning and preparing spiritually and practically to the day to day schedule, which always included time for mass and prayer and fellowship, this was a grace-filled time. We felt safe and grew in our faith, and in our love for the Church. There is so much to learn and know about the saints, and the art and history of the Catholic Church. We were so inspired to be praying and worshiping with thousands of devout Catholics from all over the world in these holy places.
