Trip Highlights

Gems of Catholic Bavaria
What better place to begin a pilgrimage than with Our Lady? The Bavarian shrine of Altötting is home to Germany’s favorite Marian devotion, the Black Madonna of Altötting.

The Sound of Music
Salzburg’s fame reaches every corner of the globe, and not just for Mozart or the Sound of Music. This Alpine City is a marvel, which despits its size and importance still somehow feels like home.

Une Touche de Français
How about a touch of Français? The ancient outpost of Strasbourg was founded by the Romans before Christ and shares the incredible story of the Christian West with its visitors.

Jewels of the Rhine
The many ancient churches, medieval castles and farms that cling to the banks of the Rhine remind us of humanity’s great struggle to civilize. We’ll cruise the river and explore some of her greatest sites.
