CULTURAL TRIPS
CHRISTIAN PILGRIMAGES
This pilgrimage to Mexico offers a spiritual and cultural immersion in the heart of one of the world’s greatest lands of Marian faith. Through the high sites related to the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe, times of prayer, reflection, and Eucharistic celebration, as well as the discovery of rich religious and pre-Columbian heritage, this journey invites you to deepen your faith while understanding the spiritual and popular soul of Mexico. The Day of the Dead period offers a unique perspective on the Christian vision of life, death, and hope.
Highlights
Extras
Priest of the Diocese of Montreal, ordained in 1999. Missionary experience in a parish in Brasilia, Brazil, in 2001-2002. He has completed three pilgrimages to the Holy Land and another following the “Footsteps of St. Paul” in Greece and Turkey. His interest lies in sharing spiritual experiences of faith and culture with people who thirst for meaning and seek to grow in their faith in Christ. Another motivating factor for him is that these pilgrimages foster experiences of fraternity and concrete love for one another.
