About this trip

Join The Mission of Cor Jesu for a 1-day pilgrimage and retreat at the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Marytown led by Fr. Jerome Koutnik! Our day includes a guided tour of the Shrine and Holocaust Museum by one of the Franciscan Friars. We'll learn about the life of St. Maximilian and the Marian consecration that he spent his life promoting. 

Together we will attend Holy Mass, and have time for private prayer, adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and confession in their breathtaking chapel designed to replicate St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. Following a group lunch, Fr. Jerome will offer two conferences on the topics of surrender to God and prayer to assist us in our spiritual journey. There will be time for reflection, to walk the grounds, and shop in their amazing Catholic gift shop.

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!

This was a wonderful Pilgrimage. A time for prayer, reflection, and a listening heart to recognize the will of God in our lives. Father Jerome's invaluable and encouraging words regarding our faith throughout the trip made it a vital experience as well.

My wife and I enjoyed this pilgrimage to Iowa. The stops were well planned and we stayed on time all day. We had a little extra time at the winery which we all enjoyed. The bus driver was polite and courteous. Having perfect weather certainly helped.

We all had a Great time and what a tremendous experience at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows and at the Tomb of Bishop Fulton Sheen. The bus ride was comfortable, the stops where well timed, the food stops were enjoyed by all and the overnight accommodations were comfortable and clean. Traveling on Pilgrimage with Fr Jerome and Libby made lasting memories in our hearts and minds through the private masses, rosary and prayer.
