It was the first time that I have visited those marvelous places and I enjoyed the facility and comfort that the CorJesu Mission offered. I was disappointed of our visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The timing and the weather were not right. The visit to Mother Cabrini Shrine was excellent and we had the opportunity to celebrate Mass. The Holy Family is a jewel that we had the pleasure to admire. Libby was an excellent guide, and Fr Jerome did put us in the right mood and disposition to celebrate our Catholic Faith. Thank you, Jesus J. Villa

A truly spiritual trip visiting 4 beautiful churches. Having mass at shrine to mother Cabrini was a highlight. Prayers and a great talk on bus by Fr Jerome. It was a little cold at the end at the Christmas market. But the trip put us in a focused realization of celebrating Christ’s birth, getting away from the hustle and bustle and spending time in prayer. Lunch was great too and in a perfect room for our group

Very enjoyable trip. Especially appreciated the Church of the Holy Family & the Shrine of St Cabrini. It was good to see the Guadalupe shrine & the Chicago Christmas bazaar, but the weather made them less preferable. Of course, Fr Jerome’s teachings are the highlight of the trip. Also, loved the restaurant — food & atmosphere, plus Father’s historical context. Bus & driver are excellent. Driver had a long, hard day, but rose to the challenge, maintaining a cheerful disposition. And, of course, our “ Shepherdess”, Libby, is a gem ❤️!

Everything about this trip was wonderful. The bus and hotel were comfortable. Restaurant choices were great. And, the pilgrimage sites were perfect. Timing to each location was also well done. Of course, Fr Koutnik is a total blessing. Great job in every way!
