A Pilgrimage to Poland: Walking in the Footsteps of Saint John Paul II
January 24 – February 3, 2027
$3590 per person + $1350 air
Few lands on earth have been so profoundly shaped by the Catholic faith as Poland, and few saints have left a mark on the modern world as deep as that of Pope Saint John Paul II. This eleven-day pilgrimage traces his life and legacy across the cities, shrines, and sacred sites that formed him: from the streets of Kraków where he studied and prayed, to the mountain village where he hiked as a young man, to the concentration camp where his role model Saint Maximilian Kolbe laid down his life.
Along the way, pilgrims will encounter the Divine Mercy of Saint Faustina, the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, and the witness of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko — martyred for the faith just decades ago. Daily Mass, daily breakfast and dinner, expert Catholic guides, and a ProRome Tour Manager are included every step of the way.
Land: $3590 per person
Air: $1350 per person (from Washington Dulles Airport)
Total Package Including Airfare: $4940 per person
Trip Highlights

Warsaw
We begin our pilgrimage in the city of Warsaw. Here we’ll pray at the tomb of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko, tour the Church of St. Anna and Pilsudski Place, and visit Niepokalanow, the home of St. Maximillian Kolbe.

Krakow
We then continue to Krakow, entering into the life of Karol Wojtyla who would become St. John Paul II! We’ll visit St. Faustina’s tomb, Wieliczka Salt Mines, Wadowice and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska.

Auschwitz
We will then take a day trip to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, a place of horror, inhumanity and the Holocaust. Here we will have the opportunity to visit and pray at the cell of St. Maximillian Kolbe.

Czestochowa
On our last day of pilgrimage, we will depart Krakow for Warsaw, stopping along the way at the Jasna Gora Monastery. Here we’ll pray before the miraculous image of Our Lady of Czestochowa.
