Trip Highlights
Lourdes
Our pilgrimage begins with three nights in Lourdes. Here we will visit the childhood home of Saint Bernadette and celebrate Mass in the very grotto where Our Lady appeared to her, with ample time for prayer arranged.
Shrines & Cities
From Lourdes we head east into Provence where we will visit Aix and Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, the resting place of Saint Mary Magdalene. We’ll then continue through France, stopping in Ars, Nevers and Paray-le-Monial.
Normandy
From Nevers we’ll travel northwest to Lisieux, the birthplace and burial-place of the “Little Flower”, St. Therese of Lisieux. In Normandy we’ll also visit Bayeux and the American Cemetery and Omaha Beach.
Paris
Our pilgrimage comes to a conclusion in Paris, but not without first stopping at the magnificent Cathedral of Chartres. In Paris we will visit Rue de Bac, the Shrine of Saint Vincent de Paul, Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, and Sacre Coeur.

Additional Trip Information
Trip Patron
St. Therese of Lisieux – the Little Flower – is one of history’s greatest saints. As our trip patron, we will pray to St. Therese before and during the trip, asking this incredible saint to protect us through our journey!
“God would never inspire me with desires which cannot be realized; so in spite of my littleness, I can hope to be a saint.”
