In an effort to see as many things as possible, pilgrimages can often become very rushed experiences. The inspiration for Adoratio Pilgrimages is to offer prayerful slower-paced tours of holy places while placing particular focus on Adoration and prayer.
UPCOMING PILGRIMAGES: 2027 MEDJUGORJE AND POLAND PILGRIMAGES COMING SOON!
MEDJUGORJE – May 22 – June 1, 2026 – Read testimonials below from pilgrims.
Medjugorje: Where the World Comes to Pray…From May 22, through June 1, 2026, I experience my first pilgrimage with a group of twenty pilgrims who will be life-long spiritual companions. From beginning to end the days were filled with profound moments of prayer, serenity, joy, and hope. With Julie, our guide, everyday brought us to something new and meaningful. Our chaplain, Fr. Declan’s goal of providing us with a pilgrimage that was slow paced made every moment a prayer that showed us Our Lady’s loving protection and most importantly, how she leads us to her Son, Jesus Christ.
There were so many powerful moments on this trip, but what stays in my memory is the people. People from all over the world who came there with strong faith. Gatherings of thousands of people were moments of silent and powerful prayers, prayers for the whole world, prayers for peace, prayers for love, prayers of hope. As Adoratio Pilgrimages looks towards 2027, I encourage all to “Come and See.” Donna E, New York
The pilgrimage to Medjugorje was beautiful and fruitful from the first moment. It affirmed Mary’s love for us and our call to love one another. Every Mass, talk and excursion was directed towards Christ through Mary. Each detail was well planned and accommodations were spectacular. Fr Declan provided Spiritual guidance and offered beautiful Masses. Thank you for such a well organized pilgrimage where strangers became family! Peace, Maria G., New York
A Journey of Grace and Surrender…After this pilgrimage, I return not with something new, but with a heart deeply renewed in the vocation I have already received. This pilgrimage itself has been a gift far beyond anything I could have expected or deserved. It was more than a journey to a holy place, it became a living encounter with God’s love, mercy, and quiet presence in my life in ways I did not foresee.
In a special way, I was given a foretaste of the joy of Heaven, a deep peace and happiness that cannot be explained by circumstances. In those sacred moments of prayer and silence, my heart was filled with a sense of being completely at home in God’s presence. Nothing of this world compared to that joy. Because of this grace, I find within myself no greater desire than to remain with Him. All other things fade in importance. My only longing is to dwell in His presence, to love Him, and to be loved by Him forever. It was also the gift of a return to the core of my vocation: to belong fully to Him, to trust Him more, and to serve with a more purified intention.
And now, I carry within me a deeper desire: to let go of myself completely, so that only God’s will may be revealed through my life. I long to decrease, so that He may increase; to surrender my own plans, attachments, and securities, so that His presence and His love may be more fully manifested in me. I return with profound gratitude, because this pilgrimage was truly a gift beyond my expectations, one that has quietly transformed my heart and given me a taste of Heaven’s joy, drawing me to desire nothing more than to be with Him always.
