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.
